I listened to the audio version of this very short book, which is intended to be read alongside Quig Shelby's novel, 100 Points. It sets out a manifesto for a dystopian life where punishments are severe and the reward for living a frugal, considerate life, is banishment to Scotland at the age of 60.

I didn't find it particularly readable as it sounded more like a list of the author's discontents and the solutions he would like to see. A lot of them are pretty radical. Taken alongside the novel it does make sense, although I did spot one issue related to wearing crucifixes, which contradicted what was said in 100 Points.
With the current collapse of democracy, this treatise might have some workable suggestions, but I would not like to live in the world he describes either.

The narration by Craig Bowles was good although no voices were needed other than his own, so I suppose it was an easier task than most narrations.

Personally I would have made this an appendix to the main novel, rather than a short addendum.
Final thought - interesting.
