What more do you want out of sci-fi than a great premise, space travel, a psychological deep dive into human beings, and also a therapist robot, with a little cosmic horror thrown in? Pohl makes our protagonist remarkably compelling for someone who is objectively a rather bad person, and I certainly didn’t see that ending coming!
