Great stuff
This book is a very readable adventure story. It can also be taken as a cautionary tale. Today's society is increasingly mechanised and a world of illiterates is not entirely impossible. We can only hope that if this really happens, there are a few good literate people ready to fight the good fight and keep the letter alive.
