Earlier quoted context omitted.

Through The Valley of the Nest of Spiders far eclipses (the forever unfinished) Stars in My Pocket, but won’t get the same attention for obvious reasons. It is also a lot more relevant to the article, given the protagonists’ eschewal of communication technology. With similar artistic goals, I think.

But not an SF book? And I find everything after and including "The Mad Man" pretty unreadable.

It spans an alternate history beginning in 2007 to numerous predicted future events through 2080ish; if the sf community doesn't want it the sf community is poorer for it.

When I saw (actually, misread) the title I was hoping it would be about Samuel R Delany's "Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" which is a complete knock-out SF book and probably the best thing Delany ever did. Oh well. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Stars_in_My_Pocket_Like_Grains_o...

Me too!
