How strange to realize how long ago this book was written—after several tries, I finally managed to make my way through this in the mid-90’s.
While I suppose it is the technically better written tale, I’ve always been baffled by why this title received a Hugo and The Sheep Look Up did not.
I know I have read this, and I don’t remember one blessed thing about it.
I love this book, then and now—why was biology so relentlessly ignored in science fiction? Vonda was one of the first to remediate the imbalance.
Uncharacteristically, I had to slog a bit through this—the premise, setting and writer should have been a fantastic combination for me, but alas… not.
Read this after endless recommendations—it completely failed to capture me.
