A dystopia deservedly ranked alongside such iconic novels as Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World."
Interstellar expedition member Hal Bregg returns to Earth 127 years after his departure—imagine a person from the 1880s waking up today—and finds himself in a beautiful new world. A world without old age or disease, without poverty or cruelty... A world without fear.
But behind the facade of universal well-being, youth, and beauty, which is sinister in its perfection, Hal senses a void that rejects him as someone too alive, too real, and therefore a dangerous outsider.
"Return from the Stars" is a premonition of a catastrophe, compared to which all previous human troubles are mere trifles.
