If you check science fiction book review sites on the Internet you are likely to see Barrington J. Bayley listed as an unjustly overlooked master of the genre. He is often linked to the "new wave" movement of the 1960s, but this is largely inaccurate. His career was more in the 1970s and 1980s (and continues to this day). Like the "new wave" writers he was interested in ideas, and Bayley had LOTS of ideas. But he was very different from the "new wave" writers regarding readability. This book is stuffed full of interesting and unique ideas, concepts, situations. But it is still written in an easy to read style. Action which kept me interested and truly amusing comedy.
