    5.0 out of 5 stars Pivotal Literature
    Reviewed in the United States on 5 January 2012

    If there were ever an encyclopedia dedicated to overcoming the fall of humanity, this would have to be present in the introductory portions that discuss the how and why of said encyclopedia. I think it could be termed a mini-masterpiece, a splendid double-feature, set to inspire human minds against the dim haze of complacency. Indeed, it is a tome for the cure social diseases.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best stories ever

    I first read "Against the Fall of Night" in the 1970's as a kid. This is one of my 2 favorite fiction novels (along with Atlas Shrugged).
    It asked the fundamental question of if having all your needs taken care of is enough, or do we need to explorer the unknown.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not for people who like to read actual stories rather than leaden philosophical treatises

    Suffers from the pretentiousness and grandiosity that afflicts so much science fiction. Too much idea, not enough story.
