Fun little sci-fi, lots of action, some typical Poul Anderson theory and social critique stuff. ( ) A readable and enjoyable socio-political adventure that presents some interesting ideas on a potential societal structure informed by a few thousand years more development. The concept of innovation reaching a limit is a thought provoking one in this age of rapid technological development. Despite being forward thinking the story does show its late 1950s origins with the assumption that even over thousands of years that vacuum tubes and cigarettes would still be part of everyday life. Tja, weet niet zo goed wat over dit boek te schrijven. Het is dan ook een wat ouder SF verhaal. Een ruimteschip verlaat de Aarde, om na een tocht zo'n 5.000 jaar later weer terug te keren. Een reiziger die onderweg opgepikt is, blijkt over bijzondere krachten te beschikken. Diverse groepen willen hem hebben. De karakters zijn heel erg vlak; geen groei in ze te bekennen. De protagonist, kapitein Edward Langley, komt mentaal onstabiel en onzeker over en de vertegenwoordigers van de concurrerende facties hadden absoluut geen idee wat er gaande was. Het plot was, in mijn ogen, erg dun, en voorspelbaar. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Space explorers returning to an unrecognizable Earth after five millennia away find themselves caught up in a deadly political power game on a planet racing toward intergalactic war Five thousand years have passed since the interstellar spacecraft Explorer left Earth, and now Edward Langley and his two crewmates are returning home. The faster-than-light mission that took only a year for Langley, Matsumoto, and Blaustein has cost them the only world they ever knew. This future Earth is unrecognizable, its global society ruled by a benevolent, all-powerful computer and divided into a strict class structure of masters and slaves. Though war has been eradicated for generations, tensions between the powers on Earth and colonists on Centaurus over mineral mining are rapidly reaching a violent breaking point. The homecoming of three astronauts from the distant past should have no bearing on the present political situation. But the crewmembers did not come back alone--and the alien visitor who accompanied them holds the key to victory or total defeat. One of the most acclaimed of the Golden Age science fiction masters, Poul Anderson has written a provocative and enthralling tale of the future that incorporates his trademark blend of hard science, sociology, and humanism. At once thrilling and thought provoking, No World of Their Own is classic speculative fiction at its page-turning best, as only the incomparable Anderson could imagine it.
