This important work of Japanese science fiction presents the story
of Yuichi, a youth who escapes the regimented world of Japanese
society for the beauty and freedom of Aphrodite, a floating island
city built by the visionary Mr. Caan. Excited by the seemingly
limitless potential of Aphrodite and confident of his own future,
Yuichi encounters a new world: friendship, responsibility, love,
and growing up. Seen through the pattern of Yuichi's life, however,
is the evolution and development of the true heroine of the work:
the island city Aphrodite-ever beautiful, ever filled with the
limitless energy of creation. And as the global economy spirals
downward, leaving Aphrodite a deserted slum slated for destruction,
perhaps Yuichi is the only person who can save her... Ideal for
young adult readers, but with a philosophical depth to make it a
thought-provoking and rewarding book for adult readers as well.
