Title: Preachy and unconvincing
Review: Combines the worst features of Kim Stanley Robinson and Jerry Pournelle, without the redeeming qualities of either.I'm generally sympathetic towards libertarian ideas and fiction. But this book made me want to go out and repress someone, just to be contrary. The only people I can imagine liking this are people who are already absolutely convinced of the absolute and unconditional RIGHTEOUSNESS of the author's 2x4 message (whack!), with neither nuance nor room for discussion. If that fits your religion, go for it.There are better treatments out there. Anyone who wants some really first-class libertarian writing should check out Vernor Vinge's story "The Ungoverned," or Poul Anderson's Hugo-winning "No Truce With Kings." Both of these are far better stories, far better written--and far more convincing.
