The City and the Stars

FALSE

Smug interference
a unique pain in the ass
macho man wants out.

Reminds me alot of the author's [b:2001: A Space Odyssey 70535 2001 A Space Odyssey Arthur C. Clarke https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1432468943l/70535.SY75.jpg 208362] trilogy with the exploration of mind-expanding concepts of what could be in our far distant future.Can be slow at times and long-winded in spots but a good read none the less.
