Customer Reviews

A good beginning

The book has an impressive introduction with a very interesting analasys of the extreme right; both black and white. However, the author makes it clear from the beginning that he is an extreme socialist, therefore his ideas have to be taken with a grain of salt. The first part of the book, with the description of a utopian society ruled by the Nation of Islam, strongly resembles an Orwellian type of society. It is well written and presents interesting ideas.The second part of the book however leaves something to be desired. It seems that the author has departed from his original attention to detail and social-political analasys and has transformed the book into a banal story, unworthy of being attached to the first part of the book.Overall, this is a book worthy of being read, with interesting ideas, and a good writing style.

Amazingly good

Impressive both with the detail in the beginning and the quality and fun of the story, I read AD in a single sitting. It's the type of sci-fi that scares you because of just how possible it is. It 's the kind of story telling that has you wishing for the hero to win in the end. I recogmend it to everyone.

Great Sci-Fi

This book is an example of a Sci-fi book that has a lot of social knowledge woven in. It makes you think about the way things are, and the way they could be. As an International Relation/Political Science major I found this book makes you want to think about our society.

Social commentary at sci-fi's best!!

I think this book is extremely creative and a treasure to find. It is a rare treat to read such social commentary woven into a sci-fi story line.
