Return from the Stars

When astronaut Hal Bregg returns back to Earth after a 10 year journey he barely recognises what he encounters. For though only 10 years have elapsed in his life, 120 years have passed on earth and the world as he knew it is long gone. "Once the pioneer of his own generation, Bregg now feels like an Neanderthal man. Civilisation has gone soft: medically denatured in early childhood, pampered by robots, entertained with illusions and entirely unconcerned with the worlds of learning or beyond, human beings idly pursue youth, ease and trivialities." – from rear panel blurb.
