Stardance by Jeanne Robinson

I highly recommend that everyone read old school sci fi from time to time, if only to giggle at how people in the 70s envisioned what society would be like and what technology would be available to us today.
There are moments when this book is fascinating. I especially enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the dance choreography and the elaborate "sets" that could be envisioned in the zero-g environment. In fact, I pretty much enjoyed all the descriptions of life in zero-g. But towards the end it got a little too touchy-feely, transcend-to-a-higher-plane, communal-love squishiness for my taste.
