The Big Time

This is classic SciFi anticpating Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.

Positives: Excellent crafting of world, characters, and plot (at more than a few levels). The message is clear, classic and provocative. The style is edgy, but manageable. Probably was seen as raw in its debut.

Negatives: It takes a litle patience to focus only on the characters and their interactions without much development of the plot, and without much world context up-front. Might require some awareness of the concurrent geo-politcal history.

Conclusion: Edgy and confrontational in its approach to fiction; with classic markers of alternate explorations to the BIG questions of human history, causation, and etiology. RECOMMENDED.
