Review: Speculation, but not fiction

On the story side: narrator is disinterested in the plot and so am I. Not much conflict or foreboding or emotional tension. Characters are nearly not there at all.On the speculative side: starts with an interesting premise, but no twist, no raising it to a power.Robert Heinlein once wrote that he had to write each story so interestingly that the reader would rather spend their recreation budget on an RAH book in preference to a beer at the local bar. This story fails the beer test.
