Title: This book manipulates and dehumanizes; it is an empty book.
Review: Before considering reading this, I think that one shouldlook to Norman Spinrad's review of it as it appearedin Issac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. Failing that,at least realize that the entire book is a deliberatebutton-pushing saga, following the patterns of humanmythology that are older then history, in a completelymanipulative way. Read Frank Herbert and you'll see that hewants to show the emptiness of the Messiah complex; Cardcelebrates it. Herbert wants to explore what humanity isabout; Card wants to explore how much money it has.
