LOL your right about that Alneyan
Well Icara I guess is pretty much a cross between "Brave new World" and "1984" from what you folks are saying.
Unlike 1984 the Icaran government is not some overly cruel saddistic power block that enjoys mercilessly hurting it's people, however Icara DOES have some of the similar (re-education and indoctrination) philospohies from what it sounds like.
And unlike "Brave New World" Icara is a society where monogomy is more then simply recommended but practically demanded and where drug abuse or anything that harms your body is seen as almost sinful. (Remember right from "Kindergarden" on up Icaran schools emphasize physical education and maintaining your body's health through exercise)
So I guess Icara is a "Brave new 1984" hehe, seriously though if I do manage to write a book it wouldn't suprise me if as Hunpecked said people compare Icara to 1984 or Brave New World. And I suppose I would be pleased in a sense as my work was being compared to two very famous books.
As long as no one compares Icara to the Federation of Planets or the "Terran Empire" anymore I'll be happy
I do have to admit I laughed my butt off when soemone who read some of my story said "So Icara is basically the Star Trek UFP."
