I found I!3 to be very entertaining and slightly illuminating, but in
hindsight, I look at Wilson's work as a slightly humorous depiction of
the political paranoia of allegedly sophisticated europeans, at least
those who gravitate toward Ira Einhorn personalities... If a person is
a european who may or may not consider themselves sophisticated, they
would likely not find Wilson's work that interesting or unique.
