Fascinating and novel take on a common science fiction story. Really saves its rating in the last 20% of the book, but you have to read the other 80% for the pay-off. Think the Truman show meets Deep Black. That said, the writing is good and people give Asimov’s writing a passing grade (howww) so who am I to judge?
