When I saw (actually, misread) the title I was hoping it would be about Samuel R Delany's "Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" which is a complete knock-out SF book and probably the best thing Delany ever did. Oh well. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Stars_in_My_Pocket_Like_Grains_of_Sand https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Stars_in_My_Pocket_Like_Grains_o...

Through The Valley of the Nest of Spiders far eclipses (the forever unfinished) Stars in My Pocket, but won’t get the same attention for obvious reasons. It is also a lot more relevant to the article, given the protagonists’ eschewal of communication technology. With similar artistic goals, I think.

  But not an SF book? And I find everything after and including "The Mad Man" pretty unreadable.

    It spans an alternate history beginning in 2007 to numerous predicted future events through 2080ish; if the sf community doesn't want it the sf community is poorer for it.
