Книга о том как представитель утопического общества человечества будущего попадает в антиутопический мир и пытается изменить что-то к лучшему. Естественно в подтексте найденный неидеальный мир олицетворяет совесткое общество, но тем не менее основные проблемы бюрократии, войны неизвестно с чем, страха актуальны и по сей день, так что и сейчас книга не устарела. Интересно будет и тем, кто любит фантастику в чистом виде, без подтекстов и политики, так как нам показан новый, неизвестный мир.
