A billion years from now, the city of Diaspar is the last refuge of humanity — a perfectly preserved, self-contained machine where no one is ever born and no one ever dies, its inhabitants endlessly reincarnated from a vast central memory bank. Alvin is different: a "Unique," born without the fear of the outside world that keeps everyone else confined within the city's walls. His curiosity sets him on a journey beyond Diaspar to uncover the truth about what happened to the rest of humanity — and what waits for it among the stars. Arthur C. Clarke's 1956 novel is considered one of the great classics of science fiction.
