This review is from: Destination Infinity (Garland Library of Science Fiction) (Hardcover)

This book (aka FURY)was William Burroughs' favorite SF novel, and with good reason. Although the premise is heavily cynical, it is an intriguing idea-- that even under Utopian conditions, humankind must stagnate and die unless driven to strive for new goals, not through romantic idealism, but through the relentless anger of society's outcasts. It is dark rage that drives Sam Harker to force his society from the ennui and strangling security of the undersea Keeps back to the deadly surface, and ultimately, on to the first step to the stars. If you can look past the scientific inaccuracies (the story takes place on a Venus covered with oceans and jungles-- but, after all, it was written in 1947), you will be well rewarded with an assortment of fascinating characters, insightful observations on the human psyche, and a ripping good read!
