Typical 1970s science fiction using social commentary to tell the story.

Definately a psycadelic bent to the book.

"Meet a plausable, provocative, frightening, new species! The Ledom had made a world without war, without fear - a world in which each individual was free to love, to create, to explore...

But then he found out just where - and when - he was... and Eden turned into a nightmare!"

"The most way out story Theodore Sturgeon has ever written."
