4.0 out of 5 stars What a Frightening Story!, January 4, 2012

sf - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Penal Colony (Kindle Edition)

Frightening yes, but also revealing in what it has to say about our civilization. After reading this work, one sits thinking of all the possible meanings and then something clicks. For me it was the choice that we have as human beings. We can either act as intelligent folks and do what is best to sustain civilization and make the world a better place for all, or we can follow blind tradition and succumb to tyranny and fear. We can choose the traveler's world or the Commandant's.
