The Sirian Experiments

Boring, obtuse, endlessly parenthetical. An awful book that also feels very full of itself. Best avoided.

I read this around the mid 80s and found it and the whole Canopus in Argos series an extraordinary piece work ... provocative, meditative, poetic, practical, how all this in the same book? I jam rereading the books now, 2017, following the US election, brexit, & etc. this book in particular is chick full of observations and hypotheses and statements that could be take from contemporary thinkers ... about greed, power struggles, inclusion vs control of others, the danger of unfettered capitalism ... read it!
