This is the greatest book I have ever read.
loved it. Erik Davis, Narrated by: William Hope Hodgson.
By.
the opening is poetic in style and description.
A masterpiece. No!
The story opens with the discovery of a journal in the ruins of an unusual house in rural Ireland.
Ordinary humans are mere playthings to him. Unfortunately, without knowing it, he's come close to an ancient secret of unimaginable importance.
No single moment stood out however, the expanded state that was created within me grew steadily as I absorbed the story. Don't read it either, listen to the audiobook.
Endless musings.
It didn't always hold my attention, but my concentration is not the best.
Kim Stanley Robinson, Narrated by:
David Rintoul. What other book might you compare Star Maker to, and why? What about Andrew Wincott’s performance did you like? John Lee, Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies, By: It was so captivating.
Possibly the most far-reaching novel ever written. Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best seller Dennis E. Taylor. Behold the orphan. I loved this experience and recommend it to all.
Alessandro Juliani, By:
Alastair Reynolds. I have read this book three times and absolutely love it and have always considered it my bible.
I really liked the books like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest article and read all the books are there any more recommendations?
What book did you read with the most unlikeable protagonist?
It is nit a dimple or light read, but worth your time! All books are unique, but this book is more unique than all. If you fancy this, I hope it suits you; it wasn't really my cup of sci-fi coffee. The universe in which fate had set me was no spangled chamber, but a perceived vortex of star-streams.
The book did not hold my attention and the message seemed overly moral. Larry Niven, Narrated by:
The philosophy in this book is simply outstanding, deep, thoughtful and insightful. Please login or sign up below in order to leave a review. By: And only musings.Some interesting musings that give one thought and others that would be nice to be true.

Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. This critically acclaimed book is more a….
His work consists of rummaging for data in their vast, disorganised memories and libraries. But as he closes in on the secret, a killer closes in on him because the Amarantin were destroyed for a reason.
HorrorBabble's The House on the Borderland, By:
If you could sum up Star Maker in three words, what would they be? Philip K. Dick. Fajer Al-Kaisi, A truly wonderful book, full of interesting ideas and speculations!
By: Its setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us - and in which we might just overcome the extraordinary challenges we face.
Walls 1,000 miles high at each rim will let in the sun and prevent much air from escaping.

Larry Niven's novel, Ringworld, is the winner of the 1970 Hugo Award for Best Novel, the 1970 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 1972 Ditmars, an Australian award for Best International Science Fiction. Metaphysical philosophy?
As such, there is nothing wrong with Star Maker, it just wasn't what I'd expected, even from its' descriptions. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to become conscious software.
Andrew Wincott may have some responsibility for my feelings about attention, or it could be that he did his best with what he had.
At last, one of the world’s greatest works of science fiction is available - just as author Stanislaw Lem intended it. Dennis E. Taylor, It is dedicated to the Spiritual Development of mankind. Philip K. Dick, Narrated by: the end is excellent with the meeting with the star maker, though again, not a shoot em up type of finish. Such as, halfway through the book it seemed lime it was going for the "Universe Egg" trope.
Cancel anytime. This book is like The Silmarillion, except for alien/religious sci-fi. A digital being grown from a mind seed, a genderless cybernetic citizen in a vast network of probes, satellites, and servers knitting the Solar System into one scape, from the outer planets to the fiery surface of the Sun. Secrets and Guardians: Devious Intentions. I stuck with it for as long as I could, but gave up halfway through. More than that i wouldn't want to give away.
I couldn't really begin to relate this novel in a cover blurb. By:
Stapledon demonstrates an insight, ability to re-think the accepted (both culturally, biologically, and religiously), and scope that is nothing short of dazzling.
can anyone suggest me a book to learn sketches, I have a school project to write a report on a novel ,which novel or book can you suggest.
No clot and no protagonists to love or hate. Another Stapledon novel, Star Maker (1937), could also be considered a sequel to Last and First Men (mentioning briefly man's evolution on Neptune), but is even more ambitious in scope, being a history of the entire universe. Adam Epstein, By:
Even Stapledon's other great work, Last and First Men pales in ambition next to Star Maker which presents nothing less than an entire imagined history of life in the universe, encompassing billions of years.
No really endless.
Are there any more good books set in Roman times. and others, By: Isaac Asimov, Narrated by:
All Rights Reserved.
Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore. I can think of no science fiction story that reaches quite as far as this one does.
The last few chapters... well, they are worth the price of entry alone. Ian Gordon, By: Tom Parker, By:
While there is a main character, it more about how this was written that's amazing. By:
Reads less like a story and more like an imagined history, albeit a repetitive one.
Some moments were thought provoking, others dragged on, but I'm satisfied to have completed it. Imagine you went on a cruise and then listed all the places you had been, summarising the cultures and conditions experienced at each location.
By: And through gaps in its nearer parts appeared vista beyond vista of luminous mists, and deep perspectives of stellar populations. $14.95 a month after 30 day trial.
Eric Michael Summerer, By:
Olaf Stapledon, Narrated by: A study of the spiritual provocations to be found in the work of Philip K. Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson, High Weirdness charts the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality that arose from the American counterculture of the 1970s.
Geoff Annis, By: Be on the lookout for your Britannica newsletter to get trusted stories delivered right to your inbox. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
An interesting vision of the universe.
The young man Luo Nan bears the sins of his forefathers.
Stephen Greif, Narrated by: What book could you not stop thinking about after you read it?
I want to read about financial books and investments. A powerful cosmic vision of a multitude of living forms and minds in an ever expanding multidimensional universe. What the Star Maker actually is, and the pure prevalence of life in the books' Universe, have been common among similar books which I have read in the past, but not done in this highly entertaining format of writing. By: I will immediately listen again to absorb better the tracks of thought.
Probably ground breaking in its time but now somewhat dated.
I will keep going with the Stapledon's available.
If this isn't science fiction, I don't know what I'd call it. Thomas Miller, By: Robert J. Sawyer - introduction, By: With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.
