If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

An enjoyable, thought-provoking read. Maybe the most interesting portrayal of anarchist principles of governance I've encountered in sci-fi.
Now, you're thinking, better than Le Guin? What about The Word for World is Forest? Well, it's different. Slonczewski is arguably more straightforwardly materialist than Le Guin. Telekinetic and dream elements are less foregrounded, and the actual social infrastructure of the native populations is more concretely depicted. What really makes this work exceptional, though, and where it distinguishes itself from other anarchist sci-fi, is how creatively it "imagines the unimaginable," providing a compelling illustration of collective non-coercive self-governance that is effective against violence and aggression.
Some quibbling. Overall, the plot is rather dynamic, I just wish the Spinel character had a bit more depth and nuance.

The rewriting of American history at our National Parks — including the removal of images of slavery — is disgraceful.
