Helpful Score: 1

As I read this book I remembered I read it in the 70's part of the golden age of SF, I didn't exactly remember the end, but it's so well written and fully developed, I wouldn't have cared. Tho written in 1949 it is very current to today's world, and not at all dated. He has deep insight into the nature of mankind and of the average individual and how they might face such a disaster. It is refreshingly free of violence, and horror and makes the reader ponder more deeply our connection to our manmade world....One of my favorite SF books of all time, partly because the writing is of a caliber that I seldom see anymore, not an extra word or misstep in the whole book.
