The City and the Stars
Friday, October 23rd, 2015 | Books
The City and the Stars is the first Arthur C. Clarke novel I have read so I was keen to find out what his writing was like.
It is very similar with Asimov, which is not surprising given they were both knocking around under the stewardship of John Campbell and the biggest names in science fiction writing for a long time.
The book tells the tale of Diaspar and Lys. Diaspar believes it is the last human city that has stood for a billion years. The entire city is run by the Central Computer and everything outside the city is ignored and suppressed.
I did not enjoy it as much as Foundation, but it was still a very interesting read and worth checking out if you like your science fiction.
