Certainly an interesting read and very quick to get through. I found it difficult to look past the aged writing full of dated references, copious exclamation marks, etc. The characters weren’t very fleshed out and it wasn’t the most engaging story. That said, considering the time it was written, the plot was quite profound and unique. It’s a very impactful piece of science fiction literature and I can see how this would have influenced many authors and creatives for years to come. I’m glad to have read it.
