Would that I were able to write a work that inventive and yet with so much wise commentary on this culture.CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285667433095434961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795918513808425879.post-13366235936588691422014-04-18T18:47:08.366+01:002014-04-18T18:47:08.366+01:00Good book for the concept, but the plots don't...Good book for the concept, but the plots don't deliver too well for me. That said I do find it a source of inspiration for the intelligence of the ideas behind it.
