adventurous mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.5

Imaginative and quick linguistic thought experiment that is shockingly progressive for being written in 1966!  onestly felt more in line w/ contemporary scifi. More of a short story which is unfortunate because I would've enjoyed a deeper dive into the concepts that are sketched out. A fun and refreshing, if brief, read.
