Customer Reviews

Great science fiction novel!

Great Russian science fiction novel! Also read his The Amphibian Man, The Last Man from Atlantis, The Lord of the World and many others by Alexander Beliaev.

Beliaev was one of the great Russian scifi writers. In this novel he foresees technology that would allow the brain to function without the body. This compelling narrative sounds an important warning for the future, which is more relevant today than ever before.
