For some reason there are two versions of this book for sale and the only difference I can tell is that this one has terrible formatting. I highly recommend buying the other version of this book.

Often verbose, occasionally terrifying, very dated and completely engrossing; "profound" is the best word that comes to mind, I think. If this hasn't been optioned for a movie, why on Mars not?

I'm confused, I never had any issues with the formatting of this mind-blowing novel! So I have a difficult time understanding any ratings of 1 star. This is so far ahead of its time, it's mind boggling and is just as relevant today, if not even more relevant, as we seem to have such an incredible problem treating our fellow man with the humanity they deserve. RH, was spot on, and if you have ever encountered the word "Grok" and found yourself at a loss, this is the origins and you can fully learn to Grok, Grok! Sadly, Musk has chosen that as the name for his AI! I would have preferred if that severely unstable genius stayed the heck away from RH's intellectual property! But we all know Musk respects Musk and those who allow him free reign to destroy institutions upon making foolish acquisitions! He's destroyed what once was Twitter, I'm not saying he's not a genius, but many geniuses have to deal with many psychological issues, hubris clearly being Musk's biggest! Try hurting me Elon
