The total concept is too good to pass except for the future outlook of which is horrendous. Realistic yet borders on doom in the end.

It's true, it's awful at the end. But that's how I felt after reading the book. It was, if you'll excuse the play on words, eviscerating.

I had really mixed feelings about the book when I read it in high school, but I would play the hell out of this as a video game.

Thanks. Was it part of your HS curriculum in or did you read it on your own?

You're welcome. It was part of the AP-level class I was taking.

It's a very important novel but I dunno if it should be part of a HS curriculum, even AP. It's just so fricken _bleak_.
Did you find the book influenced your way of thinking at all?

Thanks for commenting on my avatar. Your journal's pretty cool. We're not into the same fandoms but you like smut, and genderswap, and RP, so yay. I've only ever read or written mirrorverse Trek, but even the idea of mirrorverse Knight Rider is made of win. It must be supported. *nodnods*

This makes a pretty nasty argument why raping the heck out of a continent of resources could be a better alternative...

Hopefully we'll get past that point human history too.
