About the book
SciFi - Originally written in 1938-9 but never published, RAH's first novel is a raw work filled with themes used throughout his career. Perry Nelson, a Navy flier, is killed in an auto accident in 1938; he awakens in 2086 and spends the novel contrasting reality of 1938 with the semi-utopian 2086.
