Society is very clearly and very strictly broken into three (literal) tiers in a city built by (you guessed it) a city-making machine. On the lowest level are the folks who run the factories, the middle one you've got technicians and managers and up top are folks who seem to just do fancy stuff and think a lot.We have a Hero and he is not only a Riser, having worked and proven himself to move up (again, literally) in the world, but he's the last person who can read the old written language, being all descended from folks who did that. He's got a True Love and there is a Resistance and all sorts of double and triple crossing.And yet, the book isn't that rote. The characters are enjoyable, the ideas are interesting and it's a good entry into it's era of sf. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Imagine a world without hunger. With clothing and shelter for everyone. A world that is never too warm or too cold. A world where there are no decisions to be made, because everything is decided upon for the inhabitants. A utopia? Or a prison? Because paradise has a price. The story of one man: the last who can read the secret language of the machine that created the City - the last man who can change it. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
