Every paragraph is just 
Bees, for those unschooled in entomology, are broken into three subsets: "Workers," who build the hive, prepare the honey, and clean each other; "Queens," who eat the honey and live in opulence; and "Wasps," who fight wars at the queen's behest and defend the hive from bears. If this sounds vaguely familiar, it should. It is nearly identical to the social structure that we as humans employ.
See how the worker bee corresponds fluidly to the human laborer. The queen, by contrast, could be mistaken for a member of our ruling class: Presidents, CEOs, publishers. The wasp is analogous to a soldier or boxer. Bears, in this case, can stand in for themselves, as they pose a grave threat to both species.
I think it only existed to show how detached and malleable the innies are. Outside people easily see the book as pretentious gibberish. Innies see it as the most profound words they've ever read.
I'm talking about the rewrite of the book by the writer guy and the Corp lady. The last scene of the plot line was him and his wife fighting because she couldn't believe he was selling off to Lumon, but after that the book was never mentioned again.

I think the book's purpose was to wake up the innies and give them the drive to find their "true selves" and rebel.The part about him selling off to Lumon was to show 1) Lumon was working behind the scenes on damage control to ensure nothing like them breaking out ever happens again 2) show that the wise theorists behind inspiring works are also humans who can easily be corrupted against their stated values.
It did seem like they could have extended that subplot a bit by how they were setting it up but it also served its purposes
~~just saw this after making my comment, I'm pretty sure that happens later in the season, I'll go back and check now~~
it's from S02E03 at 34 minutes, you're right
I thought the stuff they read during the ORTBO was what Ricken wrote
I could tell it was the same TV writers but the voicing was very different, a lot less pompous pseudo-academic and more like scripture. It was Kier's diary, right?
I think the text is written from Keir’s perspective but I just assumed that was a literary framing device that Natalie suggested when they were discussing how to make the book more suitable for innies.
