3.0

As a farce it was pretty good. Lampooning the romans as delusional, self-righteous war mongers. Though, the academics were the portion of the farce I most enjoyed; endlessly debating over nonsense and trying desperately to fit what they see into their limited view of the world.

As a sci-fi book I found it severely frustrating. It was one deus ex machina after another with no real direction or specific futuristic notion.
