"They must bear the weeks, while the geological epochs passed by outside."
Tau Zero grimly depicts the fate of fifty people aboard a spaceship, accidentally accelerated to near-light speed, leaping through time. Beyond the characters or the end of the universe, the book explores deep questions about existence: what it means to truly be, how to inhabit a moment, and how to maintain humanity when the universe itself seems indifferent.
I wish I could love this piece of classic hard sci-fi more, but the era in which it was written shows through in its stereotypical portrayal of women.
