I was disappointed.
It's not as good as I remember it.
There's no querstion its the same book. Who could forget Chicken Little? The writing seems amateurish, the politics over-simplified, and the satire overdone. It still is entertaining, and makes some very clever, right-on-target points. Some of the environmental and consumer issues brought up sound like they are right out of the 70s, not the early 50s. But it isn't the masterpiece I remembered.
Maybe I'm just getting older and cynical. Maybe I should re-read "Player Piano" and see how well its held up.
