The Just City



Pallas Athena decides to implement Plato's Republic in a real place. So to do that, she timetravel/kidnaps thousands of ten-year-old children, and gathers an assortment of teachers and scholars who have been passionate about the Republic to teach them. It's fascinating mostly, if tonally a little weird. And it really made me want to read The Republic, finally!

This is, I suppose, kind of scifi, but it reads more like YA.
