A very, very interesting book. As discussed in the introduction (I had a translation from the early 60s), it is clearly a huge influence for [b:1984|5470|1984|George Orwell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1312633918s/5470.jpg|153313], but you can also see its influence in most dystopian novels of the 20th century. Although I found the epistolary style of the book a bit frustrating and alienating at points, it generally worked pretty well. The book essentially postulates what happens if humans follow a lot of purely, coldly logical concepts of group happiness and community order to their final, coldly logical conclusions. A definite must-read for those who enjoy dystopian novels/worlds.
