The Children of the Revolution

So... Has anyone read it?
[Publishers blurb]
Shevek, a brilliant physicist, decides to take action. He will seek answers, question the unquestionable, and attempt to tear down the walls of hatred that have isolated his planet of Anarchists from the rest of the civilized universe.
To do this dangerous task will mean giving up his family and possibly his life. Shevek must make the unprecedented journey to the utopian mother planet, Urras, to challenge the complex structures of life and living, and ignite the fires of change.
Before I make any judgements of my own about the nature of the "Anarchist" society depicted in the novel... Comrades, tell me what you thought! :)
The one thing I WILL say - what a book! I read it all in two days; it's quite a remarkable story. I advise everyone to go out and buy / borrow / steal a copy today! :D
