This novel really appeals to me due to his dialog heavy nature, being a mostly quiet book about characters discussing matters of humanity. The world building is fascinating, you have to piece most of it together yourself, though. Some of both that and the commentary probably went other my head, still I liked what it was doing. Especially portraying religion in Science Fiction is a trope I really enjoy and it helped that a lot of the major characters were interesting personalities having engaging conversations. Huge time jumps can be tricky for me, but here it worked well. While the overall message and outcome was predictable, I really liked the smaller things in which the narratives were connected and seeing the progression. There are horrible things implied in every of the time periods but I never contemplated them much until the last part where something played a part that felt pretty hard-hitting for me. There is still a sprinkle of humor in the book as well. While I enjoyed the story, this is mostly a book of ideas, so if you need a tight narrative or even action to be engaged, this probably won't work for you. I couldn't put in down because I was purely fascinated.
Story: 1/10 Characters: 0/10 Style: 3/10 I hate this book and I truely mean that. For weeks I forced myself to go on reading even though it is a pointless and boring story. And I forced myself again today to finally finish it, already planing it's review. How I would give it two stars because the idea was okay but there was no plot and how I even understand that a book like this had it's appeal in a cold war world and all that stuff. But then on the last few pages I come across this sh*t, animal cruelty. WHY?! Haven't I suffered enough forcing myself through all those terrible pages?! If I lived in the world Walter M. Miller Jr. so badly imagined I would curse him and his offsprings for my lost lifetime.
