Macroscope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macroscope is a novel by science fiction and fantasy writer Piers Anthony.

It was first published in 1969 and in some respects reflects the idealistic values of that time. The plot involves, among other things, an extension of the Peckham Experiment, mathematician John Conway's game of sprouts, astrology, the poetry of Sidney Lanier, the history of Phoenicia, and commentary on the values of a dedicated teacher of a subject contrasted with a scientist in that subject, all in a kaleidoscopic combination that defies summary.

Nevertheless a synopsis and evaluation of the novel is available.
