amazing. really amazing. thank you.
The book has several parts. Loved the part in the ship with the stress and helplessness. The repairs tasks are awesome. Some more abstract parts resonated less with me.
I can finally comprehend how seminal this script was. Just the fact that it was written prior to humans reached the moon. So precise and well written, hasn't aged a day!
I'd read this before, of course, and watched the film recently. I find it interesting how much of the work is still so very representative of its era (office girls, the annual income of a department head etc), the use of tape and TV etc. Still, a work with tremendous impact.
