More about the book

Set over two billion years, this groundbreaking science fiction novel explores humanity's evolution through eighteen distinct species, starting with our own. It presents a cyclical view of history influenced by the Hegelian Dialectic, showcasing civilizations that rise and fall over millennia, yet ultimately progress to advanced heights. The narrative also anticipates concepts like genetic engineering and introduces the idea of a supermind—a collective consciousness formed by telepathically connected individuals, highlighting Stapledon's visionary approach to the future of humanity.
