What’s something you disliked about the book ?I personally liked the book but I found out that some things were out of place like some of the post humans didn’t have any human characteristics.
>>25422240it doesn't have any substance, no philosophy, no idea. It is kfc of literature, fels good to ewt and then you shit it out.
>>25422291>it doesn't have any substance, no philosophy, no ideaThis is an unfair characterisation of the work. It may not be the deepest and most thorough exploration of the ideas it touches on but the work certainly raised philosophical and aesthetic questions about anthropomorphism, transhumanism and existentialism. I found myself utterly disgusted at the creations he made, then began to interrogate the source of my disgust. I read it for the first time last year and it was more thought provoking than most literature I've read this year.
>>25422240Speculative evolution is just body horror larping having a deeper meaning.
>>25422377So you keep saying.
>>25422466First time actually. Enjoy your delusion of everyone disagreeing being a samefag.
>>25422240It was pretty bare bones and got repetitive in the middle and end. I was hoping there'd be more about the history of the evolution of the species of man, but every entry was a few paragraphs and a picture.The best part was the invasion of the Qu, everything else felt pretty boring. The illustrations were cool, the concept was cool. 2/5
>>25422240It's good for what it is.Although I kinda liked Man After Man better.
>>25422240would be better if the author actually wrote anything other than bare-bones descriptions of freaky things he drew and how they vaguely relate to the evil space aliens. read actual science fiction retard.
>>25423309this. and the ending is pretty trite and clichéd. the last question by asimov gives a more interesting take on the evolution and ultimate destination of mankind, and the was written in the 50s.
>>25423083Haha, yes! Yes!
Man After Man did the same schtick better.
>>25426123You spelled Last and First Men wrong
>>25426126I've been meaning to read this as well as Star Maker for years.
