The Wellstone by Wil McCarthy
4.0
McCarthy, Wil. The Wellstone. Queendom of Sol No. 2. Spectra 2003.
This is a reasonably close sequel to The Collapsium. It raises the question of what to do with rebellious youth in a post-human, post-scarcity world. Answer: Send them to Camp Friendly, a high-tech gulag in deep space. After that, we have to guess whether it is going to be Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn or Lord of the Flies. For me, it was a bit hard to get into, but it got better as it went along. 4 stars.
