Talk:Star Maker

Great article; Star Maker goes onto my list of books to read.
- …on the scale of hundreds or millions of years.
I changed or to of because the former seems illogical, but I'm not entirely sure that's what the author meant. Please confirm.
I have also moved the following comment from the article to the talk page:
- Notes to editors: the above hypothesis greatly resembles the gaia hypothesis, only that precedes it by several decades. Is this valid? Moreover, does relationship exist among the collective minds described, the Pierre de Chardin work and the Dawkins memes hypothesis exist?

Major re-write
As well as adding more information I've substantially re-written the original article: I thought that it was a bit vague, and was praising the book rather than describing it. I've tried to keep in all the original information, but I've taken out this sentence:
"Stapledon, a committed pacifist, wrote this book shortly before the start of World War II."
I'm not sure this is relavent as I don't think it's really an anti-war book, except for the theme of progressive unity which I have mentioned.

well although not explicity an antiwar book the pacifist element is quite apparent in the whole book.

like the non-violence philoshopy of some of the destroyed civilizations. In any case it's not a really important sentence. The rewriting was a nice work, thx the original poster
