(urth) Attending Daedalus

[b sharp]

Has anyone read Peter Wright's Attending Daedalus?  The scholarly language 
makes me fear I miss the point.  I think he is saying that BotNS story is 
really about a political power struggle between two powerful and not very 
nice groups manipulating Severian, the overall philosphy being to address 
issues like colonization and imperialism and such.  Any other thoughts on 
this?
