A masterpiece. An intelligent description of both modern capitalism and Utopist Anarchism. Fantastically smart critique of gender roles and the individual's place in society. Every once in a while, a heartfelt and gut wrenching scene hits the reader out of left field and leaves you sobbing with effortless poetry.
