The weird people in this time don't like strangers, other people they haven't seen before. One would presume that strangers would be killed if they were seen. Then why is it that not only Cindy, but her entire gang of friends can march into the town without anyone giving any sense of suspicion? There are just too many inconsistences in this book. Also, one of Cindy's friends is regarded as a saint because she can heal sick people with a touch of her hand! Now, a stranger can't be trusted like that according to their logic. Seriously, people who believe in censorsing books have a point if books are actually this crap.
I think I've failed to mention that these people live in a society not unlike a town in the Middle Ages. Now, about 75% through the book, the Wardens (at last) find the radio, but Cindy is not charged with possessing it. Instead, another man known as Brother Soil is sentenced to death. Guess how he was killed, just guess? He was killed by breathing in a lump of soil, that's right folks, a lump of soil. Did anyone ever mention to them that HANGING is a better option. Or the guillotine. It just keeps on getting better, doesn't it?!
Now at the end, the real shit starts to happen. An uprising lead by Cindy's friends starts to envelop the land. This involves one of Cindy's friends talking about Excalibur to people, or some shit like that. Then, Cindy returns to the Base to lock herself out from all this madness. Now, here's the good part, apparently, a computer in the Base tells Cindy that all this mayhem and crap was actually pre-determined by the computer. Now, I believe that even the most sophisticated computer, even in 1000 years time, would not be able to predict all the insanity that went on in this book. Even if a computer attempted to do this, it would self-destruct in a nuclear fireball.
In closing, all I'd like to say is that the only way in which you can truely and deeply understand what I'm talking about is if you read the book; but a word of caution. It hasn't happened to me, but if you read this book, you might relise that there is no hope in this world, and then you would hang yourself in the hope that your soul would be transported onto a spaceship and head for utopia, which, unfortunaly, doesn't exist (in other words, you'd believe in what the Heaven's Gate cult used to preach).
