[QUOTE="T_G, post: 127357, member: 175083"] OK, finally managed to read the "Underpeople". It was a good experience, because it had been a while since I read any Cordwainer. One thing that is clear that the overall message has to do with the "underpeople" being oppressed, looked at by people as soulless "things" rather than beings with feelings etc. It has a strong smell of anti-racism, and to me he shows to be influenced by Ghandi. As he has strong connections to the east (family) this would make sense. I am going to get the other ones now and keep reading. Very nice though, I like the way that the richest person in the Universe is still a pawn in the hand of the "Instrumentiality", if there ever was a "them" or "they", the Instrumentiality must be the mother of them all..
