I see Mandibles mentioned here, and it's great, but another good read by the same author is Mania. It's set in an alternative 2011 where the Mental Parity movement argues that there is no such thing as differences in human intelligence. No one is smarter or dumber than anyone else, so goodbye to tests, qualifications, and the like. Kids get kicked out of school for saying "stupid" and don't even think of using a term like "dumbwaiter" in polite company. It's excellent satire. #bookstr
