They'd Rather Be Right, or The Forever Machine by Frank Riley, Mark Clifton

1.0

Well, I can't say I enjoyed it. To me this was a mess of a book. It's like there were 4 or 5 completely separate science fiction "ideas" that the authors wanted to explore, but they didn't hang together at all. Immortality, telepathy, computers that make decisions for humanity, and "single-value" vs "multi-value physics" (whatever THAT is) all make cameo appearances amid a very light framework of a plot that could have been MUCH more interesting. There's much better classic sci-fi out there, so I probably wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who isn't reading through all the Hugos like I am!
