I read Industrial Society to my parents last year. They were both quite surprised that, rather than just being the schizophrenic ramblings of a crank, it made a lot of sense and raised good points. Uncomfortable, finding yourself in agreement with some points raised by a notorious domestic terrorist and murderer.

I recommend the Manifesto to the HN audience. The section on AI is particularly timely, but a lot of it holds up well - especially the discussion of surrogate activities and the problem with hobbies.
