4.0 out of 5 stars Enemies of the System - SciFi tackles politics 8 Dec 1999
By luke.dunn@lineone.net - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Aldiss subtitled his book " a tale of homo-uniformis" and this is telling. The book tells of a group of overcivilised spacefarers marooned on a planet where people from their mollycoddled society have been marooned and subsequently gone wild.

The 'natives' represent all the vibrant savagery and anarchistic creativity that the visitors have lost in their over organised, overdeveloped culture.

The two different ways of life meet and interact, with challenging results, both sides leave the transaction changed and shaken up.

This book examines themes relevant to our modern civilisation and the way that we may often feel lost when we come into contact with a simpler, more "primitive" way of life.

The ending is typically Aldiss and satisfying, although I won't tell you what happens...
