It’s certainly well written, just not my kind of book at all. I don’t read sci-fi but was intrigued by the premise. I was disappointed by the execution of the story and thought I would be more captivated. I did find the reflections on free will and how much control one man should have over others interesting. Also, how removing all conflict or struggle flattens the human experience and also removes passion and difference.
