A couple of questions for any who have finished this month‘s #ClassicLSFBC pick. If anyone would like to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know.
🚀 What do you think about the novel‘s imagined trajectory for humanity? Do you see it as a positive or negative development? Did any of you also read “Almost Human”, one of our earlier group reads? It posits a very different possibility.

There will come a time when there aren't any humans left. I love Star Trek and Perry Rhodan, but a future where humans thrive and expand into every corner of the universe is a pipe dream. Given the choice between (a) we wipe ourselves out and (b) we survive but as something else, I find (b) more interesting and appealing. I haven't read Almost Human but should fix that. 3d
kwmg40 I'm afraid I didn't manage to get to this one in March. I did read it a long time ago but have forgotten the details. I hope to get to a reread eventually. 3d
Ruthiella @swynn I found it a little creepy. But maybe because it‘s so outside my understanding and sense of individuality. I guess I want a few centuries of cooperative, less self destructive humankind before we move to a non-corporal collective. 3d
Ruthiella @kwmg40 No worries! I see it‘s also been adapted to television. Might check that out. 3d
kwmg40 @Ruthiella I hadn‘t known that. Thanks for the info! 3d
