Pleasant surprise

I must admit that I didn't really see this end coming. Some reviewers take issue with the political slants In this story but the views expressed I really the story itself. One thing I liked about this story is they did not spend very much time trying to expand on scientific advances , It was much more an exploration on ideas and government and human social evolution.
Good story, Nice reader

The story, itself, is a nice easy listen. The reader was very good as well, although a bit louder with certain characters (which made listening while going to sleep slightly harder) but overall I'd recommend this one if you like science fiction.
well read. well written.

This is an interesting story, I can see thus being made into a movie with a few tweaks. There are points I feel I’m getting a political lecture from mid century America with some simplistic views, but that’s “of its era”. I liked the concept and the reader does a very fine job of bringing it to life

A bite size intro into socioeconomic and sociopolitical theory and history of human government inside a brisk, interplanetary caper, competently read by one of the best on Librivox. A little dated in its subversion of sexual politics of its day, but just as relevant in its broader social thoery as when it was written.
Pulpy Fun

Obvious a bit dated, this pulpy fun sci-fi is a short and surprisingly engaging read. A bit didactic, but overall good fast-paced plot that makes you think. The narrator did a wonderful job as well with voices and accents for most characters.

What a great novella. Really appreciated the premise of the story and how it played out. Chapeau to Karen Savage, who as usual, brought the characters to life with her sublime narration.
