I don't know if Noah intended it as a cautionary tale, but it is. One of the other noteworthy things about this book was that I learned great deal about things I thought I already knew. I knew it was bad, but South Africa refined oppression into an art form. Actually, you may not be able to imagine it. Add to that extreme poverty, violence and life under the most oppressive, racist regime you can imagine. So merely surviving until the end of apartheid was no mean feat.
