Way Station by Clifford D. Simak

4.0

Excellent bit of work, plodding in places, but the wealth of ideas! Simak's idea of transportation where a body is reassembled at the destination point put me in mind of Gene Roddenberry's own transporters in Star Trek. I have heard Simak's explanation being used to explain the ST transporters, but without Simak credited.

This is a man far ahead of his time, and incredibly compassionate. His other works show his compassion and hope for the human race. It's a balm with this current fashion for dystopia (in the midst of fear that the world is in a dystopian age now).

Most recommended.
