WHAT TO READ:
The Songs Of Distant Earth
Arthur C Clarke’s labour of love, this novel tells the story of Magellan, a space-craft with the objective of finding an earth-like planet to repopulate. On its journey, Magellan stops over at Thallassa, with the intention of picking up some ice for a shield. Its crew is surprised to find the planet inhabited, and the inhabitants welcoming and intelligent. The interactions between the crew and the Lassans, interspersed with glimpses of the history/future of the universe and humanity forms the rest of the novel.
Like any Arthur C Clarke novel, much of the science in this book checks out. But the book delves heavily into philosophy and morality as well, raising questions like when is a species intelligent and what happens to people’s belief in God in the face of Doomsday. The author also wrote about how the transfer of culture and knowledge among isolated civilizations could drastically affect either, and about a society without the concept of religion.
The world building of the book alone warrants a read, though the plot seems slow at times. The climax also fizzles out. But it is what happens between the lines which makes the book a compelling read.
