Date: 2010-09-05 05:59 pm (UTC)It was in this frame of mind that I recently reread Jack Vance's The Blue World, and it dawned on me for the first time that this was a book that addressed the question:
"If a society's priests were really in contact with their god, what would life be like for everybody else?"
The answer is as alarming as the question; but, being Jack Vance's work, more interesting.
