4.0

A short fast book that makes you think about your worthiness as a human. Even though it was written in the 50s, you'll get a uneasy feeling that it was written just yesterday about modern times. The scarrines of civilization falling apart is really similar to modern ecology concerns.
Ignoring the tree page rant of one of the characters about women being good-for-nothing, it was a great dystopian quick read. Even though the characters were mostly flat.
