WOW! The effect of this story has on my thinking is hard to describe yet. I don't love this book because it is a historically perfect drama or dreamy sci-fi with incredible characters... I love it because this piece of fiction is our future and it frames it so perfectly. The book unfolds in a way that leaves you guessing until the realization hits you near the end. And then the author spills it all out and explains it. We are building our future and it is amazing. But it will probably be our demise if we are not careful. Seriously, I loved this story!
