anarchicpsyche 's review for:
The Fountains of Paradise
by Arthur C. Clarke
I avoid reading books by Arthur C .Clarke one after the other. I save one for every year or so knowing that there are only so many books that I can truly enjoy with guarantee. The description of the book may make it sound like it's just about the engineering aspects of a space elevator. It is actually far from it. In the book the author merges history (although slightly modified) and the future seamlessly. It doesn't seem like a science fiction book or a historical fiction but an amalgamation of these both, a genre yet unnamed. I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of Sri Lankan geography as much as the fine engineering details of the space elevator.
I find writing reviews quite tiresome but through my suggestion I hope more people read this book and appreciate it.
