What did our ancestors dream of when they gazed up at the stars and
looked beyond the present? Wildly imaginative but grounded in
reasoned scientific speculation, "A Journey in Other Worlds" races
far ahead of the nineteenth century to imagine what life would be
like in the year 2000. At the beginning of the twenty-first
century, Earth is effectively a corporate technocracy, with big
businesses using incredible advances in science to improve life on
the planet as a whole. Seeking other planets habitable for the
growing human population, the spaceship "Callisto," powered by an
antigravitational force known as apergy, embarks on a momentous
tour of the solar system. Jupiter proves to be a wilderness
paradise, full of threatening beasts and landscapes of inspired
beauty, where the explorers must fight for their lives. Dangers
less tangible but equally deadly await the "Callisto" crew on
Saturn, which yields profound secrets about their fate and the
ultimate destiny of mankind. Thoughtful, adventurous, and replete
with a dazzling array of futuristic devices, "A Journey in Other
Worlds" is a classic, unforgettable story of utopias and
humankind's restless exploration of the stars.
