It's actually especially excellent because it's very even handed and ambiguous on certain fronts. There are lots of ways you can interpret the society (which I wont spoil) and many of their norms are things which to the average reader have a good chance of appearing repugnant, brutish, or inhumane.

It feels truly like a different sort of society that might actually exist and is deeply sympathetic without being naively utopian.
