I wouldn't completely dismiss it if you can read it for free. It has some interesting ideas in there, it just needed more editing to improve it, which of course didn't happen. It's not as bad as the Mission Earth series, and for example, it's light years better than the sequels to Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama written by Gentry Lee.

Buying it though? Hell no, hard pass.
