Except instead of the main character using his knowledge of modern technology to acquire cat girl sex slaves, it's a critique on capitalism. Which is kinda cool. Maybe I should read it again

    Damn I had this book forever ago. The same version as this picture; got it at the thrift store for a quarter. Watched it on my shelf for a decade before I gave it away without reading it; I thought it sounded too cheesy

      You sometimes see people quote it here: "THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood..."

      I'm working on an isekai and I took another look at Connecticut Yankee (I had read it many years ago). There was casual racism against "Asiatics" and Native Americans on the first few pages IIRC. Twain might have been decent for his time, but I'm not sure that makes him good enough for ours.
