Recensioner
The Wikipedia page says the English translation is heavily abridged. I wonder of the fuller version has a bit more character development.
Totally readable! Weirdly dated in ways I'm not quite able to place.

Consider skipping this "quintessential" Japanese science-fiction novel. I came across it on a Top 10 Japanese SF list, which also included 2 other books by Komatsu. However, neither the prose nor the story structure are very strong. Only the story concept is interesting. But what good is a concept without the execution?
Certainly don't read this book before going to Japan for the first time...
