Quite loved reading this book, even if I didn't love it as much as his WAY STATION. The sheer humanism and ideas in this are quite wonderful, even if it feels very dated– Feels often too simplistic/naïve, it's filled with Lamarckian thinking, and there are some other flaws that hold it back.

But it's still a very enjoyable novel, and you can't help but forgive its faults. A typical Astounding-era book.
