So I bought this book because it was the only wlw book I could find in the book shops of the country town where I grew up. I was tucked way in the back of the second hand bookstore, in the gender and sexuality section.

It’s not got great reviews, and is a bit out of date, but I’m going to be attempting to post updates on each of the short stories.

This is very 1984, complete with total surveillance, failed relationships and child informants.
First question:
If 1984 was warning us all about the dangers of Stalinism and totalitarian government, what is a book set in an environmentally controlled world warning us against?
