much easier to get through than especially 2061, but ultimately very flat. many aspects should have been explored more. the utopia is incredibly dystopian in some ways that i think are worth exploring in context with the frightening nature of the "ultimate evolution" that so coldly decides over the life and death of the species it interferes with. it was quite fun and silly at times, not hard to get through and cleared up some mysteries. but especially since i can tell the author truly meant for the depicted society to be good and not as obviously alarming as it was to me, i can't give it, as Dave said "the benefit of the doubt" as much as i would like.
