I’ve no time at the mo’ to write up a long, or even a short, piece on what I thought of this. I’ll just say I liked it and it’s the kind of science fiction that I enjoy, the type without very much science in it. That’s odd for someone with a rather scientific bent I suppose but I find social future fiction far more interesting.
