Publisher's Summary
Published posthumously, this dystopian novel was written between Frank Herbert's classics The Dragon in the Sea and Dune.
EMASI! Each Man a Separate Individual! That is the rallying cry of the Seps, the resistance force engaged in a class war against the upper tiers of a society driven entirely by opinion polls. Those who score high, the High-Opps, are given plush apartments, comfortable jobs, every possible convenience. But those who happen to be low-opped live crowded in warrens, facing harsh lives and brutal conditions.
Daniel Movius, ex-senior liaitor, rides high in the opinion polls - until he loses everything, brushed aside by a very powerful man. Low-opped and abandoned, Movius finds himself fighting for survival in the city's underworld. There, the opinion of the masses is clear: It is time for a revolution against the corrupt superprivileged - and every revolution needs a leader.

Herbert’s shave with Foundation?
Quintessential Herbert with a tossed-in dash of Foundation.
Started reading Herbert’s books a long time ago, but somehow missed this.
If only revolutions were so simple…
Great read, well read.

Perhaps the wrong format
This story was certainly interesting, and the narrator was excellent. As with a lot of Herbert’s work, though, the style was a bit convoluted, and I found the plot somewhat difficult to grasp. I think the book might be better delivered in physical form, where it could be read (and parts be re-read) at one’s own pace.

Fun light read.
Narrator was masterful. Story was quick paced and ending was sufficiently satisfying. (3 more words)
