Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-21 00:00:00 Sean Halligan Provided me with a hearty combination of "snores" and "sighs". In other words, this is socialism at its most boring moments.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-09 00:00:00 Michael Perkowski Wells continues to make predictions about the future in this book, but he's a lot less objective about it than he was in "Anticipation." Basically the entire thesis behind this book is that we should keep poor people from having babies so that society will be better off. We should also creepily change the educational system of the entire world to a very specific set of rules that Wells has arbitrarily decided will be best for his "New Republic." I'm interested to see what his third predictive book is going to be like, as he's gone off the deep end so often in this book. Only worth reading if you enjoy watching a great science fiction writer drown in social and political discussions that are painfully out of his league.
