Sirius is a lovely book - certainly the best intro to Stapledon's works. I remember reading it when i was completely broke and freezing cold in Edinburgh in winter of 1972, and it warmed me up!
I read Sirius and Odd John due to Freeman Dyson advocating for Stapledon [0] but was underwhelmed by both.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPB775_BZlw" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPB775_BZlw</a>
