Maybe it has something to do with the new technology, the Twitter thing and the ubiquity of communications and/or information, the drama that can be played out on your hand, or your hand-held device, the never-a-dull-moment-allowed culture — although I don't remember the book being boring — all I feel like saying is that it kind of knocked me out back in the day when I first read it, oh around about age 10, and I want to read it again now, 40 years later, and see if it's still that cool, but as far as searching for a plot goes, or getting technical about the science that existed when it was written, I'm not at all sure what the other commentators on-line here are yapping about. I have every reason to say this book is very daring, very exciting and well-worth any time and effort given to it. "Too many long words"? what the bloody hell does that mean?
