This is my favorite science fiction book of all time, beating even my other favorite, A Canticle for Leibowitz. Both are separate but related stories tied together; both make you want to cry for humanity's foolishness and capacity for greatness. It's spiritual in a way that's so inclusive I wish I could make it required read in schools.
