Finally finished this book (not for a lack of interest, more like a case of life getting in the way) and it was really good. I could see the tangles of the plot pretty soon, but it didn't detract from the pleasure I had reading it. Warmly recommended!

This is supposed to hurt everyone. They don't consider disabled people are human beings, but parasites. The dehumanizing is strong with these ones, and the cruelty is the point.
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

Just finished this. I think this is the first time I read sci-fi that takes Davidson's radical interpretation seriously. Of course it also refers Nagel's bat. Even if I didn't like everything in it, I'm quite impressed by this part of the book.
