Hmm. I don't know whether too recommend PSS or not; on the one hand, the world building is fantastic. On the other hand, he goes for the grotesque a little too much, and his Marxist sympathies get really annoying after a while. I have a feeling he was trying to prove a metaphorical political point in that book and I missed it, the same way I missed the one in Brokedown Palace.
But hey, it could be worse. It could be Orson Scott Card.
