<h3>Review:</h3>
<p><strong>So, so good.</strong><br /><br />It's easy to find common points between this book and Asimov's Foundation series. Galactic empires, planetary cities... Don't let that fool you.<br /><br />This book is all the things Foundation is not, in a good way. It's well written, the plot is interesting, the society it describes feels foreign and attention-catching.<br /><br />Science fiction has improved a lot in the past 70 years, and anyone thinking of recommending an old golden age classic for any reason other than historiography should recommend this book instead.<br /><br />Because the golden age of scifi is now.</p>
