I did not finish this book.
Star maker is a deeply philosophical , creative, mind bending and expansive work.
But it is so goddamn nihilistic and so goddamn detailed in its exploration of strife and of the meaninglessness of it all that I am going to put it away till my mental health is better equipped to deal with being transported into the cold dark void of the space and left to wander it aimlessly for millennia watching civilizations come and go and make the same mistakes over and over and over again.
