(2) 4-6 In this speculation on the nature of the future of human society, life in Kira's community is nasty, brutish, and, for the ill or disabled, short. The thematic threads are not always woven as securely as they might be into the fabric of the story. However, the richly imagined story contains a number of good questions that will reward contemplation.
