Boeiend boek om te lezen met een duidelijke verhaallijn. Een verhaal dat langzaam overgaat in een vorm van maatschappijkritiek. Is een referendum een goede manier om te beslissen?

Een derde verhaallijn is de 'god' lijn, wanneer ben je een god? Is het voldoende dat je zoveel geavanceerder bent dan de anderen om je tot 'god' te benoemen of is dit een ander soort god dan de gebruikelijke goden? ( )
