I've read it. I enjoyed the dreamlike philosophical scenes, not as much a fan of the gnostic ending, although I see how it was meant to tie everything together.

You'll be surprised just how philosophically dense that last sequence is, I come back to it often, Lindsay truly was a genius.

I think one day I'll sit down and hash out all the resonances in it.

This isn't sci-fi per say.

Those who enjoyed Voyage to Arcturus should definitely check out Starmaker ny Olaf Stapeldon.
