Reception
Dave Langford reviewed The Book of Being for White Dwarf #68, and stated that "The marathon effort of trilogy-writing is showing: for ages Watson's intellectual gearshift stays in neutral, but crashes into overdrive for the forty pages of Part Three (containing most of the plot). Strangely paced stuff from one of the few SF authors with a truly strange mind."[1]
