| Annotation | A dystopia with some eutopian elements in which big government and big business have no concern for the people. Related to 1985 McAlpine in that the dominant world power is the RUSA. Also related in that one of the centers of concern is the environmental destruction caused by government and business and in its antinuclear theme. The eutopian elements are found in the ability of people to work together cooperatively and in a strong feminist current showing women freeing themselves from the dominance of men and then being able to create equal partnerships with men who are also capable of doing so. |
