Scanners Live in Vain by Cordwainer Smith

3.0

---

3.5 stars. The story was confusing at first; it is intended to be figured out as it goes along. Overall, the idea was solid and the plot did it justice. The novelette's biggest flaw is that the committee meeting, which is the meat of the story, was too long for what it needed to do.
