I agree with what you said about PA a...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I agree with what you said about PA and Stirling. Not only does Stirling addresses many of the same themes as Anderson, he does in a different way--by means of using the alternate time line method. Anderson, by contrast, preferred to set his stories in space, on other planets, in a "this timeline" kind of way.<br /><br />I would have added after your "how NOT to build a society based on despotism" another line saying "how can a despotism evolve into a milder form of government."
