Plot introduction
The novel concerns the survivors of the destruction of the earth and their attempt at settling a new planet.
Reception
Galaxy reviewer Groff Conklin panned the novel, saying "it has nothing new or even interesting to offer."[1] Anthony Boucher found the novel "sounds exactly like one of [Coblentz's] first science-fantasies back in 1928 . . . tinged with some amusing topsy-turvy satire."[2] P. Schuyler Miller found the novel marked by "heavy-handed satire" that "bludgeoned" the reader.[3]
gollark: Environmental damage is partly a fixable technical problem and partly a social one, because people are SILLY DODECAHEDRA who will not accept the obvious solution (to some things) of nuclear power. I'm also not convinced that reverting to horrible premodern living standards would *reduce* depression.
gollark: Hmm, this is quite long.
gollark: Buy vast tracts of land in a random third world country, become anarchoprimitivism, ???, profit.
gollark: You can also, well, buy land and grow food there, if you really want. My family has a small food-growing garden in our, er, garden.
gollark: Modern society generally brings better health AND lifespan, and there's a bunch of effort being put into health and life extension research now.
