An interesting and depressing tale of life in the future.
I enjoyed the imagined society without need, the currency of kudos.
But I was depressed by the miserable story, which struck me as a bit predictable and irritated by the urge to rebrand kudos as Whuffie.
This book got an extra star for being free.

Remains one of my favorite books due to my love of both science fiction and Disney World.

If only we could trade in Whuffie.

Then end felt a little rushed, but otherwise, a really enjoyable book.
