I'm going to be thinking about this one for a while. Star rating is knocked down a bit because although Abbott's florid prose is an artifact of the time period, it does make as abstract a story as this that much harder for me to grok. The satire of social hierarchy in this is quite interesting - I wish the book was a bit longer so it could be explored a bit more.
