    A must read for today's world and future. Sci-fi but not sci-fi.

    Amazing novel by one of the GREATS of Science Fiction, a story that still is compelling and now very fascinating with all the outer space explorations happening and the conversations about beings from other worlds and galaxies going on. It was a great read 50 years ago, and a great read again now. Wonderful and thoughtful reading for anyone! Item well packaged and sold at a good price. Very satisfied with purchase and packaging.

    Great content... makes you consider the possibilities of humanity.

    Excellent example of what humanity would become. Yet, do we need the overlords or can we end our childhood ourselves.
