Like many sci-fi pulp fiction it dealt too much with the technology while not spending time on the social ramifications and the human condition. Conflicts tended to be "Oh, NO! I can't get the machines to work!" instead of "Oh, No! I've doubled the average lifespan for humans with a shot." The vignettes are fun to read, something good for summer, but don't expect anything more.
