The thing is the concepts were nothing new, the “science” was handwaving bullshit that didn’t pass the sniff test, and the character development was so incredibly bad it beggars the imagination that it was written by a literature prof. Everything was a slap in the face that kept you from engaging in what little there was to recommend the story. And the deus ex machina plot device at the end that obviated everything else that proceeded it was the icing on the cake.
