The story describes a history of life in the universe and tackles themes such as the essence of life, of birth, decay and death, and the relationship between creation and creator. A pervading theme is the progressive unity between different civilizations. Some of the elements and themes prefigure later fiction concerning genetic engineering and alien life forms. Arthur C. Clarke considered Star Maker to be one of the finest works of science fiction ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olaf Stapledon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1774641852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774641859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Must Have Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Olaf Stapledon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049735024895,"sku":"9781774641859","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65e0ebd0-7a6b-4df5-936d-070bb6a006de.jpg?v=1685003158","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/star-maker-olaf-stapledon-9781774641859","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
