Title: An evolution to a higher state
Review: Basic premise: Mankind evolving to a higher pacifist state through a technological collective consciousness despite resistance from a conservative and religious group.Criticism: Weak characterisation and narrative marr this novel. Novel is too lengthly and it could have been a short story or novella at best.Haldemann wears his Vietnam vet tag like an emblem, stating that in every novel, but his experiences does not relate much. Tim O' Brien and others have expressed it better. Unlike Haldemann's magnum opus, 'The Forever War' where the basic premise and its supporting ideas were of great interest, 'Forever Peace' is a one idea novel and the idea is simply very derivative. Disappointing to the extreme.
