Hey, glad you like it. If you want to know more about these ideas, you should have a look at
this book (free to download). It is a brilliant literary critique of several great novelists (including Dostoevsky), which shows that the basic logic of all these books is to reveal what I have been calling "people-idolatry" (the author uses another word). It is well worth reading.
Btw, I am also a C&UNIIX freak. I learned C in the late 80s direct from K&R on a 68000 powered Unix mini. I mostly do Python and JS nowadays but I am still enjoy the occasional nostalgia for the old stuff.
