"Thought provoking example of how society may evolve. It is important for its comment on power and human nature. Should be required reading at schools."
"similar genre to 1984 and should be read one after the other. Two alternative visions of the future both of which have come true to a certain extent. Story and style of writing not as good as 1984."
"Almost a simpler (or more sublte) version of 1984. Short and to the point leaving a lot for you to think about and put your own interpretation on. Damning idictment of Soviet Communism."
"A critic of liberalism in its political form, this writer questions things others take for granted. Well versed in history and philosophy he underlines the political foundations of law."
"This is an accessible and informative book on human rights. It is a balanced, mature and thoughful work without the pompous attitude some human rights campaigners display."
"SF, contrary to some peoples beliefs, is intelligent and thought provoking. Baxter is adept at writing interesting and profound stories speculating on what the future of our species may be."
"Not just a history book. This describes the process of a people abrogating all moral responsibility in the name of a political religion. Important for all times and all places."
