Reception
Philip Brantingham wrote in the Chicago Tribune: "As a narrative, the novel is a failure; not much happens and the characters are flat. But as an enquiry it succeeds by posing problems about the future of the individual in a society dominated by technocrats."[1] Publishers Weekly described the book as an "elegant allegorical novel" and wrote: "Lucid sentences and a finely tuned plot balance a rigorous agenda concerned with nothing less than the mysteries and paradoxes of material existence."[2]
