A decent Sci-Fi story. The ideas, though good and tackling existential topics, are nothing new for a modern audience (and probably not even that much back than) and everything could have been more elaborated. While I felt superior to the immortal humans at first, knowing more about earth and human kind, later on I got to discover the truth at the same pace as them. It was easy to sympathize with the characters for the most part. Some things just felt outdated. The way the women were handled read just as if the author didn't really care, even for the 50's this didn't feel right. A quick and fun read, but nothing that will stick.
