I didn't want to be the spoiler.

This book was for me a real stunner.
Imagine a really, really intelligent Soylent Green mixed with Brave New World and Anna Karenina.
I'm glad to hear you've read it. It's easily the most thought-provoking book I've read in many years, perhaps because in six years I'll qualify. Even non-fiction doesn't stick with me like
The Unit.

Whoopsie. I was hoping to delete that post and replace it with this one before anyone replied to it.
Anyway, the premise for
The Unit isn't as far-fetched as it may seem. News stories out of Denmark this past year could have been the prologue. The recent national elections in Sweden could also be paving the way.
