Title: Thought provoking, yet lacking as a novel.
Product review: Ok, first of all, I was stunned at the end of this book. I mean conceptually it cancels out my worst thoughts of despair in that anything created artistically will never last as the sun explodes and the universe crawls in on itself. With the technologically advanced star ship Leonora Christine humans could effectively become God as they live through the contractions of an oscillating universe. All data from earths history could be stored on a fleet of ships at certain points in a universes time line and set off to re-establish in the next form the universe takes. Although masterworks completed after the ships leave would perish. What would human music sound like after say 1000 osculations?But alas the book itself reads like a hypothecital lecture by a science fiction buff. Clumsy characters, and poor movitivations of characters. Nevertheless a damn interesting read.
