This was an assigned text for my brother, but after I finished reading all my texts for the year I got desperate and read all his.Mark Monday's review is clever and engaging and got me thinking about this one and did I ever bother to post a review (NO). Discussions of classic sci fi at the dinner ta...

Well after half a century since it was written, it remains an impressive futuristic adventure full of awe-inspiring details and thoughtful, existential deba...
