Readers of science fiction are hungry for ideas and her book is chock-a-block with them. After finishing her book, I immediately re-read Huxley's "Brave New World," and "Island." I also returned to some great South African writers--Breyten Breytenbach and Andre Brink--to get a sense of place and rebellion, which is there under the grass of the veldt and certainly in the pages of her book. So, in effect, her book shook me up, stirred me, touched me, and provided stimulus for further inquiry. Bravo to you for publishing her and brava to her for writing.
