#5175 of 8,085 books · #1063 in Science Fiction

Shortlisted for the Nebula Award for Best Novel (1976).

Beneath the deceptive appearance of the space-opera formula, this substantial 1976 novel is chiefly valuable for the principal characters presented through its intrigues. It is an ambiguous utopia where social body and physical body are intimately connected. A difficult book to which the reader must contribute and which attempts to renew the approaches to science fiction.
