Heart-wrenching and introspective.
4 stars
I rarely decipher with any confidence what an author intends to convey via their fiction. However, I understand that this novel is a warning regarding the apparent solvency of society based upon humanity's history, and the need for utmost care when considering the processes by which society functions. It as importantly demonstrates the need for difficult choices to uphold that ideal, but the consequences of those choices. Its original novel form is incredible.
