Much like Cavendish's The Blazing World, this is more interesting than entertaining, and you probably shouldn't read it if you want something thrilling and/or adventurous. It does have, however, a plot, though it takes several chapters to get there. Some, if not most, of the social criticism is very current, and the prejudices presented in Abbott's fictional society reverberates with the prejudices we have today.
