I have a love/hate relationship with classic sci-fis.
I tend to love the concepts but the writing is usually dry and the sexism/racism/homophobia tends to ruin it for me.
While it wasn't the case with this one (no real female characters though), I struggled to be fully invested in the story. The scope of it makes it interesting but I'm unsure how I feel about it all after only reading book 1.
Will continue in hopes it gets better but I'm not in a rush.

I will say, however, that Alfred Bester did do a very good job with characters during the Golden Age, even female characters. Really the only one of the Golden Age authors to also be a legitimately good character writer.
