The premise sounded very interesting but the execution was at times hard to read.
The themes of race, eugenics and perpetual progress were not enjoyable to me, it becomes evident that the book is over 100 years old.
I would have enjoyed this more if our point of view wasn't a "sociologist" who is so stuck up in protecting his world view that he isn't able to delve deeper into a new society.
