Karel Čapek’s last major novel, War with the Newts, is a satirical dystopian masterpiece, both prescient and timeless, uniquely Czech and yet universal in appeal. Published in 1936, it remains one of the most thought-provoking novels ever written.

I only rated this book 2/5 stars. I don't remember it much, but now I'm wondering if I somehow missed the point of it.
