His quest takes him across a volatile 1930s Europe, as he confronts the destructive potential of human ambition and begins to question the limits of science and responsibility in an increasingly unstable world. A classic science fiction thriller from the author of Rossum's Universal Robots.

Features an updated and revised translation, plus a new introduction by science fiction scholar Karl Wurf.
