Dr. Brin's is a pick up of the actual high school building and surrounding blocks and dumping it on another planet. 1632 dumped a West Virginian town into 17th century Germany, but the plot, unfortunately, started in a high school. Look it up. The history teacher at the school spouts off SF references every now and then--at least in the part I got to read. Under our good Dr. Brin's definitions of wannabe writers, I'm a self admitted Frankenstein. I like to think up dirty tricks and twists. At characterization and original plot ideas I'm about a zero.
