Arthur C. Clarke author of the greatest stories ever written of our destiny in outer space - '2001: A Space Odyssey' see rja27647 in my 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die catalogue and '2012: Odyssey Two' - presents here an immensely readable and stimulating collection of essays examining the enormous possibilities the human race now has for both creativity and destruction. Against Orwell's ominous date 1984 he has deliberately set the hopeful word 'Spring' because he feels that the worst of the world's long winter may well be over. Arthur C. Clarke's passionate interest in space explorationhis vast knowledge of current technological and scientific developments then 1984 and his informed optimistic humanismare communicated in an immediately accessible style which will strike a responsive chord in the hearts and minds of all readers concerned for the future of humankind on - and off - Earth.
