Helpful Score: 1

This book had been on my WL for quite awhile so I was eager when I finally got my hands on it. I will tell you my first impression was how tiny and short this book is. I finished it in 3 hours while sitting by the pool. It is also no at all what I expected. The whole book takes place while a University type committee is asking Anaximander questions, based on the history of how their nation was formed. with the questions, we get a glimpse into what led up to this dystopian society. I felt like this whole book was just a very long explanation of the society, and that the real story should have started after. We do get the historical story of the nations formation, but nothing definitive in the "present day" of the book. There are hints, but nothing really outright.Unfortunately I dont see a second book being written anytime soon, so we are left with a description, without the story.
