Dystopian RevolutionBy MikeI enjoyed this dystopian novel. Fans of dystopian novels, such as George Orwell's 1984, and ardent Frank Herbert fans will probably enjoy this novel. Those looking for a new Frank Herbert sci-fi novel, similar to Dune or The Dosadi Experiment, might want to think twice before getting this book.Setting is the near future where the world has become dominated by opinion polls and those who control the polls. In theory, those who rule are freely elected but in practice control has accumulated into the hand of a few families and their governmental bureaus. Frank Herbert goes onto explore how societies and governments have cycles and are destined to fail and how the actions of individuals and societies can be predicted scientifically. Daniel Movius has rose rapidly in the system which purportedly allows all to succeed but he falls even more rapidly as a result of political machinations. Daniel then goes on to join the separatist movement and turbocharge their languishing revolution. Overall, this is a good story which is filled with suspense, intrigue and action.I would be interested to know when this novella was written in relation to some of Frank Herbert's other novels - unfortunately I could not find this information. My interest is due to the several themes which are similar to those in Dune, Whipping Star and the Dosadi Experiment and understanding how this novella may have influenced those if it was written first. High Opp also focuses on the fall of a society due to natural cycles similar to Dune. High Opp focuses on how governments and societies can fall similar to Dune, Whipping Star and The Dosadi Experiment. High Opp has a charismatic leader and explores the dangers and allures of such leaders - similar to aforementioned novels. High Opp also explores government and leadership similarly to referenced novel. One of the orgranizations in the novel operated similarly to BuSab (Bureau of Sabotage) in Whipping Star and The Dosadi Experiment. These theme similarities increased my enjoyment of this novel since they reminded me of some of my favorite Frank Herbert novels without ever feeling like I was reading a rewrite of those novels.No significant editing issues were noted. High Opp is 3,012 Kindle locations long. Standard length "paperback" novels seem to run in the 4,500 to 7,000 plus Kindle location range. Long novels can range from 15,000 to 20,000 plus Kindle locations.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This novel is a sketch preparing for "The Dosadi Experiment"By RTODD HARTLEHigh-opp is an excellent Frank Herbert novel, with all the cleverness and political depth that is expected. However, it is rather obvious that the ideas shown in High-Opp are being tested and considered in a narrower sketch before he fully integrated them into his final Jorj X. McKie novel: "The Dosadi Experiment", which was one of his masterpieces (in my opinion). I can only regret that Herbert didn't write a whole series of Jorj X. McKie novels rather than Dosadi, "The Whipping Star" and the original short story, "The Tactful Saboteur" found in "The Worlds of Frank Herbert". If you are trying to round out your collection of Herbert, I would recommend High-Opp, but if you are looking for his highlights, I would search out the Jorj X. McKie stories and give High-Opp a miss.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A preliminary sketch?By Gordon DaytonA sketch with the same plot as the Dosadi Experiment by the same author - possibly a preliminary work. The Dosadi Experiment and Whipping Star form companion works in the same universe with the same protagonist again by Frank Herbert. Both are much better written and more entertaining. Published posthumously, this dystopian novel was written between Frank Herbert's classics The Dragon in the Sea and Dune. EMASI! Each Man a Separate Individual! That is the rallying cry of the Seps, the resistance force engaged in a class war against the upper tiers of a society driven entirely by opinion polls. Those who score high, the High-Opps, are given plush apartments, comfortable jobs, every possible convenience. But those who happen to be low-opped live crowded in warrens, facing harsh lives and brutal conditions. Daniel Movius, ex-senior liaitor, rides high in the opinion polls - until he loses everything, brushed aside by a very powerful man. Low-opped and abandoned, Movius finds himself fighting for survival in the city's underworld. There, the opinion of the masses is clear: It is time for a revolution against the corrupt superprivileged - and every revolution needs a leader.
