Title: Early work shows some promise, but...
Review: This early Shirley work (possibly his first novel?) is amateurish and immature, with some hints here and there of the talent that later produced some of the best cyberpunk and horror fiction around. Not to get too far into it, early on the earth loses it's gravitational field, and many people are killed or starve to death while floating around loose. The rest go on to create some sort of utopia, though not really an ideal one. The book gets rather preachy in a naive socialistic sort of way, and barely escapes being laughable in its romanticism. I can't recommend buying it unless you just have to fill out your collection.
