Summary: Worth the effort
Comment: Set in the very distant future, this book showcases the triumph of the human spirit even in the face of universal apathy.

Mr. Brunner's eclectic British compositional style (as evidenced by the opening sentence of the novel) makes this a challenging read, but the atmosphere and pace of the book make it both interesting and rewarding. Nice ending.

Summary: Wandering - but captivating
Comment: Seeing this book in a used bookstore, I snapped it up, and was not dissapointed.

The golden age of humanity has passed, leaving behind a self maintinging organic city where the story picks up. A hobbyist astronomer discovers a meteor headed for earth. He tries in vain to warn people but everyone is too self-centered or apathetic to bother paying attention.

So he sets off into the world searching for answers, and discovers not everyone has well cultured plants to live in. Brunner leads us through a strange and greately varied earth of the distant future.

Brunner's unique style grabs ahold and refuses to let go until the end of the last page.
