The Fountains of Paradise by Arthur C. Clarke
5.0

My first time reading Arthur Clarke impresses me in the way he intertwines the nature of the world, the human progress, and ambition. This book hits hard in the way that he creates a story about the resistant and ambitious nature of our species, complemented by a future that builds a world so beautifully and wonderfully argues the incomprehensible but celebratory nature of human ambition.

It’s so beautiful sifting through the text. Each short chapter progresses the story and it triumphantly closes the story of the space elevator with grace.
