Plucked from time, Sir Thomas More occurs on the human colony of Astrobe in the entire year 2535 AD, where there can be hassle in utopia: can easily he and his motley followers save this fantastic world in the Programmed Persons, as well as the soulless perfection they have engineered? The success of beliefs itself reaches stake in this fascinating, uncategorizable, wildly inventive 1st novel-but the adventure is more than one of ideas. As astonishingly as Philip K. Dick and various other visionaries from the 1960s brand-new wave, Lafferty turns the conventions of space-opera science fiction upside-down and inside-out.
