Public nudity is a way of life and the paternalism of children is of little interest to their mothers. This wry, amusing, and suspenseful satire is truly John Boyd at his best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for John Boyd's \u003cem\u003eThe Last Starship from Earth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is the best anti-Utopia, the strongest satire on trends in our present culture, I have seen since '1984' appeared. I enjoyed its humor, its half-buried allusions. The puns, the almost-not-quite-quotations, the thinly-veiled references to our 'real' world—all of these delighted me. It belongs up at the top, along with 'Brave New World' and '1984'.\" --Robert A. Heinlein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A fascinating novel that kept me amused and interested to the end.
