[Title] Friendship is Optimal [Author] iceman [Rating] ★★★★ [Year] 2012 [Review] 
It’s an excellent dystopia which makes you feel that it’s hell - but also better than our reality. But as great as the premise is, and as chilling (or thrilling?) as the results are, on reflection I’m not quite sure I can give this a rare 5-stars (as I did initially): the prose is a little too journeyman-like, the characters a little too undifferentiated.
