I'm currently half way through this on the grounds that I've paid for it
and am damn' well gonna read it.
A few questions spring to mind. Why is it always sunny in utopia-land?
Why are all good-guys so sweeeeeet and lacking in individuality? How did
they transform a major city into a garden paradise in only a few years
without sewers collapsing, derelict buildings becoming unsafe, rats
overrunning the place, etc? How do they manage to have all the useful
bits of technology they want without the manufacturing side - inventing
wonderful crystals that do all the difficult bits just wont cut it. In
other words, is it a feminist utopia because its only about
spirituality? Are there any feminst utopias that actually "like"
technology and make an effort to incorporate it sensibly into the story?
Are there any characters in a utopia who drink beer, play pool, and are
rude to the neighbours now-and-again?
Cheers
