Synopsis
Star Maker is an influential science fiction novel by Olaf Stapledon, written in 1937.
Reviews
How does a man describe the surfaces of moons, and interstellar travel as if he had actually done it? The sheer intellect of Mr. Stapledon is daunting, his writing style effusive, and compelling. If you love science fiction, you cannot overlook Olaf Stapledon. A man whom influenced some of our Golden Age Giants. Starmaker is a psychedelic, Transcendant voyage of discovery through the cosmos that will whisk you away as if you were born to it.
The way that Shakespeare understood the human condition as if connected to several older minds, Mr. Stapledon describes things he could not possibly know, let alone imagine, and leads me to believe that he was similarly attuned to reality, and truth. Get the book, and read it as soon as possible!
