The Lathe of Heaven – Imaginative, Thought-Provoking Sci-Fi
⭐ 4.5/5
A great and imaginative novel that weaves together chaos (in a Michael Crichton-like way), free will, morality, and science fiction, all written in a clear and delicate style. The premise is fascinating, and the way the story unfolds feels both unpredictable and deeply thoughtful.
The novel maintains a strong grip for most of its length, but the final part loses a bit of its momentum—just enough to keep it from being a full 5 stars for me. Still, it’s an exceptional, intelligent sci-fi novel that balances deep themes with an engaging plot.
