A review by leonf63
Rite of Passage by Alexei Panshin
5.0
I came upon this story as a recommendation of the 10 best Science Fiction novels. It was written in 1968 and at only one point felt dated. It discusses some of the prevalent philosophical systems and moral relativity and human ability to justify horrific action.
I found the discussion of Heros and Spear-carriers (NPCs) to be a good tool for clarifying something I think most of us recognize but don’t quantify.
The other thing I strongly agreed with was the protagonist’s final thought on Capital Punishment.
Definitely a good read.
