Title: Philosophical SciFi at its finest
Product review: It seems to be a difficult task to balance the creation of a captivating plot/world/cast of characters while also incorporating a healthy serving of philosophy to mull over. Ziporyn however rises incredibly to the task of creating such an interesting novel while also loading it with contemplative philosophy in such a way that it does not overwhelm the reader, but further fascinates him. I had the pleasure of being Brook Ziporyn's student and I never realized that he possessed this literary/imaginative talent, though the brilliant presentation of his philosophical musings is no surprise at all. This book is extremely entertaining, very well written, yet it also leaves the reader with a new contemplation after each chapter and page. Definitely read this if you are a fan of SF/Fantasy and you are philosophically minded. The incorporation of Buddhist/Daoist thought is apparent to those who have studied such philosophies.
