A Heritage of Stars by Clifford D. Simak

3.0

Interesting book that shows a future over 1500 years after the collapse of civilization and one man's attempt to restart it. This is very much a product of it's times (early 1970's), where people were attempting to come to grasps with the rapid technological changes happening in the world. Definitely not the most action-packed book that I've ever read, and I'm not sure that I agree with the central premise ((not a spoiler!) that mankind eventually rebels so thoroughly against technology that all tech is destroyed, to the extent that even pages are ripped from the few remaining books that might've otherwise helped rebuild society), but it was definitely thought-provoking.
This is only the second Simak novel that I've read (the other one - [b:The Visitors|191003|The Visitors|Clifford D. Simak|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1203026235s/191003.jpg|2381578] - was read while I was in high school over 30 years ago), although I've read some short stories of his. I think that I'll seek out others of his.
