This was a decent short story/ novella to read in a quick sitting. The plot is definitely an Azod plot. Though Chanti's I hate you"s really did seem a bit childish. You knew she didn't mean it. Egan was hot."

Andrew Jackson is a man who lives in our future in 2094. He is a scientist who specializes in hibernation technologies such as those used to travel in long space missions, and he has just convinced the U.N. along with his friend Michael, the CEO of one of the largest global conglomerates to prove his hibernation technology before they split the cost for a mission to Pluto. Dr. Jackson will be the guinea pig in the hibernation capsule himself for four years to prove the technology, but something goes wrong, and he wakes up 800 years in the future. The book is laid out in three parts, his present, his awakening, and his introduction to the new society.

The interesting thing is, all through the book, a thread runs through it surrounding Pluto and what they found up there. No spoilers I promise. It has literally shaped humanity for hundreds of years if not longer. There is also a dark note that runs through the book. It is just underneath all the happy, fulfilled people everywhere. There is talk of a massacre. There is mention of an evil General. There is mention of mankind almost coming to the brink of extinction, but none of this is explored. My bet is, all of this will be told in the second book when Andrew goes through the Younger training program and is sworn to secrecy. I'm sure it will horrify him.

The book is delightful, there are no grey characters here, but I believe that it is something that has happened on purpose. No violence has happened in 500 years at least to man or animal. That is why I marked in my shelves as subversive, because something funny is going on around here, I just don't know what it is yet.

Highly recommended! I loved every minute. If I had a hint more of what the dark parts were, I probably would have given it five stars, as it is, I am giving it 4.5 A Thumping Good Read!
