A review by ebil
Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress

5.0

A fun read; seemed to be headed in a Randian direction, but wasn't. This emotionally and intellectually satisfying story concerns genetically engineered children who need no sleep -- to say more would be to give away the meat of the plot. More fiction than science, but a well-deserved Hugo for storytelling and conceptualization. I loved the way the "beggar" metaphor panned out.
