Rating: - fantastic
A science fiction novel of the "1984" ilk, it's a moving story in its own right. I first read this book in the seventies and loved it then, holding onto my copy for many years. Unfortunately I've moved several times and lost it--so I'm replacing it even though the cover is different now.
I loved the characters and the premise, which even after all these years makes you take a double-take at our current society and think about what we could become--scary, indeed! A great read then, and now.
