Review title: Clarke at his best
Product review: This ranks up with, and probably surpasses "Rendezvous With Rama" as my favorite Arthur C. Clarke book (in the forward, ACC himself claims it as his personal favorite). Set millions of years in the future, the human inhabitants of a totally self-contained city believe theirs to be the last city left on the planet. People live for thousands of years before reentering a sort of hibernation chamber where their souls are put on ice for a few million years before they reemerge to live again and again. Society on-the-whole is content. Only one young man finds he lacks the inherent fear of exploring beyond the city's enclosure, and he sets out on a journey that forever changes the planet's history. This is one of those SF books that makes you wonder how any one person could think of so many wonderful, original nuances of the future
