feels it’s a little ridiculous to be like: this is Good. does anyone know? are people aware of this? this book about the creation of human life?… that pioneered Science Fiction as a genre?.. its commenting on the morality behind creation for creations sake. and the responsibility associated with bringing forth life against its will? .. but it IS! AH the pitfalls of man’s hubris to play god!

“You throw a torch into a pile of buildings, and when they are consumed you sit among the ruins, and lament the fall.”

Incredible examination of the psychological consequences of making a being and then abandoning them, reads very easily and definitely deserves its title as a classic of English literature
