“Any system like Eternity, which allows people to choose their own future, will end by choosing safety and mediocrity, and in such a Reality the stars are out of reach.”
The level of creativity in Isaac Asimov’s ‘The End of Eternity’ is remarkable. What makes it even more fantastic is when you realize that this was published close to 70 years ago!
But like so many other Asimov novels, this book is dry with absolutely threadbare character development. The factual narrative takes complete center stage - which might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Definitely enjoyable if you know what you are getting into, ⅘ from me.
“Out of danger and restless insecurity comes the force that pushes mankind to newer and loftier conquests.”
