This was fantastic, I will be thinking about it for a long time.

The last section about meeting the Star Maker was difficult at times but well worth the effort.

This book was written 84 years ago so some turns of phrase are quaint, but Stapledon is just so good that it’s not a flaw…excellent use of analogies too.

Also, re: date written (1937)- author is clearly aware of, feeling and alarmed by fascism’s progress by 1937 which echoes now (as well as sharply belying the “no one really knew it was happening then” revisionism that persistently sprouts up).
