Wow, what a story! As with a lot of older sci-fi, some of the 'science' is outdated, and everybody smokes! But the story itself is timeless, gripping and moving. I didn't know that James Cameron's Avatar was based on a previous work until I saw the reviews for this book. Certainly it's no wonder Joe's story inspired him. While the movie doesn't follow the book's details too closely, the basic story remains the same. This is a truly haunting and awe-inspiring short story.
