Gary Wolf's book Workshop of the Second Self is a very entertaining read. I loved the concept of the society running amok. I found myself not wanting to put the book down.
Clifton Pembroke is a disability advocate that winds up having some one make a claim against him. To see all these different disabilities being used to help people that are 'less fortunate' to get a job or be come the person that they feel they are entitled to.
I have never read a book like this before that I found some similarities to things in the real world. I don't know if similarities is the right word. I just mean I can see how society could come to be just like Centerville in the book. I highly recommend this book. I give this book 4 1/2 stars.
