Overall, a highly recommended book for anyone wishing to gain power, protect themselves from power, or learn about power.
While some of the laws appear archaic and not so relevant to modern times, the laws do provide general guidance and interesting ideas with which to play with when navigating the social landscape, as well as protection from those who may attempt to use power for antisocial purposes. In addition, this book may be read as an entertaining account of the use of power by various people throughout history.
