The Steps of the Sun is a 1983 science fiction novel by the American author Walter Tevis.[1] It is about a future energy crisis, and a world in which China has become the leading superpower.
Ah Sun-flower! weary of time, Who countest the steps of the Sun Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the travellers journey is done.
Receptionedit
Reviewer Dave Langford said, "Well written and characterized, this has an old-fashioned feel despite up-to-date lack of inhibitions."[2]Dave Pringle's review said "I found this an irritating book, implausible, overlong, outdated and would-be risque."[3]
