Title: Social Commentary Masquerading as Fiction
Product review: I had an opportunity to read this book and was eager to do so. Arthur C. Clarke is one of my favorite Sci-Fi authors, and I have enjoyed many of his works. Sadly, I could not finish this book because in 75 pages it was clear this was a myopic, politically-correct and fantastical vision of the way the world "ought to be." The "science" is theoretical junk, based on good wishes not scientific theory. The idea that peace would break out if all guns and explosives were rendered useless is the most hilarious, yet sad, idea that is repeatedly expressed by the authors. I look back on history and recall the millions who were slaughtered or enslaved by nations that possessed only the sword and the spear and laugh at the idea that removing weapons will change man's aggressive and dominating tendencies. Don't buy this book and contribute to ludicracy. Invest in your civil rights by reading the Constitution and the Federalist Papers (available here at Amazon, I'm sure)!
