About this product

Product Information

Galapagos takes the reader  back one million years, to A.D. 1986. A simple  vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary  journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of  survivors stranded on the Galapagos Islands are about  to become the progenitors of a brave new, and  totally different human race. Here, America's master  satirist looks at our world and shows us all that is  sadly, madly awry -- and all that is worth saving.

    Recommend reading

    Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Read it in under a week. It was written in 1985 and references the “future” in the year 2016, and I’m now reading it in 2020. Vonneguts vision of a future human race makes for a great story.

    Paperback is a great feature. It is lightweight and easy to travel with.

    The condition of the used product was a bit tattered for the price I paid. It might have been better to purchase the book from an actual 2nd hand book store.

    Galapagos

    Leon Trotsky tells this tale from the grave far in the future after a cataclysmic depopulation of the Earth. The story takes place on Santa Rosalia Island of the Galapagos chain where the human species has taken a severe turn in a different direction from the way we are currently headed. Thought provoking and entertaining.

    What an amazing book. It expands your mind and is funny

    I bought it because I needed it for my collection. I am a huge fan. I love it because it makes fun of the human drama, and puts all of us together-in perspective.
