3.0

A book of ideas - not your typical sci-fi yarn, but its genuinely convincing socialist-anarchist society could only work with an interplanetary framing. Impressive in terms of world-building, chapter structure, and the internal struggle of its protagonist. But as a story, it has little dramatic drive until well into the second half. Less than 300 pages, but felt like 600.
