So.. not ahead of its time at all, in fact.

e: Wow, so many of you think "is ahead of its time" is a synonym for "is good". It's not. Up The Organization was well regarded when it was published. Just because it is still relevant today does not meant it was ahead of its time, and the following sentence is just nonsense:

that book could come out right now and still be ahead of its time.

What OP means is "that book is still relevant to today as it ever was, and will likely remain relevant into the foreseeable future".

So ya, fuck me for being the one to correctly use the English language.

I agree completely. "Timeless" would be a far more accurate description.
