    When I read it as a kid, it was the first thing I ever read that tried to answer the question of why the world is the way it is in a materialist way. Most history books have even bigger nonsense in them like "Thomas Jefferson's ideas caused Americans to be hard working and freedom loving :)", compared to that the theory of "this place had all the farm animals" seems pretty plausible.
