Charlie Johns is snatched by the Ledom from 20th century America to a futuristic unisex Eden with no Adms or Eves. But this Eden also has a serpent.
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... The Ledom, a gentle and kindly new race, made their twentieth-century guest, Charlie Johns, welcome to their paradise. Charlie thought he was in heaven. 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."
