Rereading this classic, I'm amazed all over again at Stapledon's universe-encompassing vision. He really was the greatest writer of pure, creative science fiction to ever live.

It's astounding how many science fiction plot points or ideas trace back to this single book. Dyson spheres? Stapledon did them first. Implications of relativistic flight and time dilation for spacefaring cultures? Stapledon did it first. A group of individuals (like a flock or pack) as a single mind? Stapledon did it first. Everything from Star Trek to Halo began with this book.
