Philip K. Dick's sci-fi novel "Clans of the Alphane Moon" poses an interesting query: What would happen to a colony of mentally ill individuals left to fend for themselves on a remote moon? The results are not nearly as disastrous as one might expect. While I enjoyed the first 2/3 of the novel, I found the ending forced and a bit rushed as Dick tried to wrap up numerous loose ends in the last 20 pages.
