I liked the story too, thanks for recommending it fantasyfan !
I counted it as a fantasy book on my fantasy challenge, but also saw science fiction as well. The Jupiter part of the story was the most confusing part of the book for me. The rest of the book made more sense. When I first read about the experiences man was having on Jupiter, I thought they were hallucinating or on some unknown drug, perhaps a way for the Martians to get humans off earth. That wasn't the case, but I did suspect the Martians motives throughout the story. Probably because Juwain and his species never thought of Medicine or had Doctors. Philosophy seemed to be their only interest. So I felt that Man had accepted Juwain's philosophy without thinking about what the down side could be. It seemed they went through drastic measures to achieve this philosophy, and suffered the consequences.
