I like essays. This should come as no surprise, since book reviews are one form of essays. Science fiction explores big ideas, and so do these essays. The author is obviously highly intelligent and has interesting and insightful things to say on a wide range of topics. Among other things, he covers government, education, technology, space exploration, and even what it means to be human.

When I first picked up this book, I found myself reading far longer than I intended to. I expected to be able to read one essay at a time, but the intriguing ideas kept me going. This book is entertaining, intriguing, and thought-provoking.
