At first I was not sure if I would enjoy this book but as the story unfolds rich with metaphor and insight weaving different timelines, I really began to enjoy this story. I always find I relate more to fictional tales than nonfiction and this is a great tale about what could be our future. Some things about it are far from real and magical but so much of it seems so real and current. I think this could truly be one of the great dystopian novels up there with 1984 and Brave New World, but with a future that seems much more plausible than those do now.
