"This Review reveals the plot of the book. Display Anyway!!! A good classic SF story. Clarke again shows his belief that man will someday turn into a creature of all mentalcapacities with no real physical body."

Those with a strong religious persuasion, namely Christians, may be offended by the author's clear dislike of religion, but that aside the book is well worth the read."
