One moment a man sits on a suburban hill, gazing curiously at the stars. The next, he is whirling through the firmament, and perhaps the most remarkable of all science fiction journeys has begun. Even Stapledon's other great work, Last and First Men pales in ambition next to Star Maker which presents nothing less than an entire imagined history of life in the universe, encompassing billions of years.

how can some of the best storytelling I've ever heard have no plot, actual characters, or even a timeline?

I don't really have an answer to this question, but it doesn't make it any less phenomenal. dwarfs the scale of every piece of science fiction I've ever read.

incredible book

This is the ultimate out of body experience. If you read this as purely science fiction, then you might miss the deeper meaning. For me this is the most fantastic, most adventurous, grandest out of body travel story i have ever read. I thank Frederic Dodson for recommending this book in his "levels of energy" book. What a story!!!

A spiritual journey

Read like a cross between a text book and scripture. Many parts were very interesting. I can see how many sci-fi writers who followed would have been influenced by this work. No story to speak of - not in the traditional sense. With the benefit of many decades of thinking and written works since this book was first published, many of the ideas expressed - or rather, introduced - by author no longer "hold water".

Interesting but tedious

beautifully written, wonderfully narrated.

It reminded me of the Divine comedy and it's scope and it's conclusion but in a sci-fi rapper and sold with such wonderful philosophy.

this book made me a wiser person
