4.0

A coming of age novel, this book is, by nature, character driven, but being a science fiction novel from the sixties it still is rather caught by the technological and philosophical ideas. Today this reads more like a YA novel, but it would have stood out in its time as one of the few that showed an adolescent girl having adventures.
