Earthlight - Arthur C Clarke

[watervole]

This book was written before I was born, and I'm the wrong side of fifty...

One reads Clarke for the science and, unfortunately, the planetary science in this book has not fared well in the light of more modern discoveries.

I gave up after a chapter that was full of (now) wrong science compounded by old-fashioned non-digital photography and computer tape printout on a lunar base.

I'm fine with Clarke's limited character development when there are other elements to keep me reading, but this is not a book I will keep.

I agree with you about that book.
