Appraise About Books Gateway (Heechee Saga #1)

Come for a cleverly premised space venture, stay for the intriguingly reluctant, but persistent exploration of self. Close, contemplative and touching - Pohl makes the mysteries of extraterrestrial civilization pale in comparison to the secrets of an individual's psyche and their human experience.

Before I began writing the review I searched for images of Gateway. This was the first one in the results:I really have no clue about the relevance. When I think about a gateway I think about something like this: or something like the following which resonates better with any serious reader:If you have even passing interest in science fiction you have most definitely heard about this novel. This one is a classic of genre with a lot of awards to prove it. Imagine somebody found a habitable

I wanted to like this book but ended up annoyed and slightly disgusted. I was hopeful at first because the sci-fi elements were interesting and seems to have potential (the Heechee ships, Gateway, the food mines etc).

But my robot therapist Sigfrid von Shrink (not that thats his real name being a machine, he has no name) has convinced me that isnt true. Sigfrid may be a machine, but hes a real whiz when it comes to stuff like this.Sigfrid claims that awkwardness arises because theres some deception on one side of the social interaction. For example, if youre having

Executive Summary: I had low expectations coming into this considering it was "classic" sci-fi and ended up enjoying it more than I expected. 3.5 StarsAudiobook: I thought Oliver Wyman did a good job with the book, but nothing spectatular. She spoke clearly and the volume was good.If you're a purist, I should warn that this is apparently not the full text despite it be listed as unabridged. I don't know exactly what's missing, but I've been told that it's some kind of supplement "documents" that
