My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The plot in this novel caught my imagination with a brilliant concept. Businessmen have set up several self-sufficient areas around the globe. Their aim of allowing people to live away from others and develop better habits is shrouded in secrecy and heavily guarded. But different characters have their own agenda.
The author has a mission, just like Any Rand whose books I enjoyed back in the day. This is a topic after my own heart, similar to the back-to-the-earth movement I became part of in the 70s.
The writing could be improved with a basic edit. However, the story carries the reader to a dramatic end. The author outlines humanity's effect on the world and possible outcomes at the end, which I found just as good as the fiction.
