4.0
A lovely, near perfect piece of speculative fiction. Just the right amount of creativity and eeriness in exploring the way human beings interpret the world. Just how much of our behavior is learned, and what possibilities do we have to learn to become something no longer perceptively human?
This would be a 5-star review except the story is essentially Alice in Wonderland fan-fiction and I just can't get over the horrible 1940s sexism: "I'm trying to understand," Jane said slowly, "All I can think of is my Mixmaster." Eek.
