Query: A vivid, if peculiar tale.

'Explorers of the New Century' seems to be an allegory for a variety of society's mores. Amongst them - chauvinism,racism,and the collective stupidity of blind adherence to regulations. Like Mill's previous book 'The Restraint of Beasts', the story is compelling reading even though there's no obvious direction (he presents a deliberately vague overall picture, while the simple details of day to day life are rendered with humor and crisp detail). Both books are very simply written, which is part of their charm. The cliche "Less is more" fits and works in these instances.
