nakedsteve 's review for:
Beggars in Spain
by Nancy Kress
A lot of the books I read don't really cause me to think and ponder about the themes presented. This was one of the few that did. It's an examination of community and duty and the changing definition of "other", through the conceit of a class of people genetically modified to no longer need sleep.
The craft of this tale was lovely; full of highly-relatable characters who I was always interested in hearing from. The tale is truly much more about the social constructs of these people than scientific detail, which is a good thing.
Here's to reading more books in 2020! 4 of 5 stars.
