5.0
I rated the book with 5 stars because I loved the series of Neverness/A Requiem for Homo Sapiens, so I was intrigued to learn more about the author. The book might be less appealing to someone who is not familiar with David Zindell, I would rate in that case maybe 3.5 or 4 stars.
Personally I am happy to have learned more about how the idea of transcendence very powerful in the other books came into David Zindell's Life, and what he wanted to create and to transmit to his readers when he started writing.
And oh god, I found quite few surprise in the book. I was already aware that his books, despite being beautiful and profound, are not that successfully commercially, I really wish him the best and I hope to read some new enlightening novel from him soon.

but I couldn't imagine the repeated financial hardships and other types of struggles he encountered in his life.
