In the late 1990s the preface seemed somewhat anachronistic, lost to me in its historical specificity. However, this time around I was immediately struck upon reading Stapledon’s preface to Star Marker. The grand scale of the latter is restaged in Star Maker, but on an even grander scale: this time the story of the entire cosmos across time and space rather than the mere 2-billion-year future history of homo sapiens and its various descendants.
I last read it in the late 1990s, not long after reading Stapledon’s Last and First Men. Recently I’ve been rereading Olaf Stapledon’s Star Maker.
