The Just City

Probably 3.5.
An unusual book, which, despite the heavy emphasis (obviously) on Platonic philosophy, intrigued me. The combination of Greek Gods, time travel, philosophy, and robotic self awareness drew me in. The book has no real plot, and I honestly could not work out where it was going - and the story just stopped. Maybe that was the point, the story structure reflects the thought experiment of building the Just City. Let's build it and see where it goes.

To my great surprise I enjoyed it. I've started on the second novel to see if the story ends up anywhere interesting.

Incidentally, I have also downloaded some translations of Plato's work. We'll have to see how that goes!
