What reading level is Araminta Station book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. . In this work, now thirty years in preparation, we attempt neither exhaustive detail nor analytical profundity, but, rather, a pastiche of a million parts, which, so it is hoped, will coalesce into a focused picture.. . . Order, logic, symmetry: these are fine words but any pretense that we have crammed our material into molds so strict would be obvious sham. Each settled world is sui generis, presenting to the inquiring cosmologist a unique quantum of information. All these quanta are mutual...ly immiscible, so that efforts to generalize become a muddle. We are yielded a single certainty: no event has occurred twice; every case is unique.. . . In our journeys from one end of the Gaean Reach to the other and, on occasion, Beyond, we discover nothing to indicate that the human race is everywhere and inevitably becoming more generous, tolerant, kindly and enlightened. Nothing whatever.On the other hand, and this is the good news, it doesn’t seem to be getting any worse.. . . Parochialism derives, apparently, from an innocent egotism, which, if verbalized, would express itself thus: “Since I choose to live in this place, it therefore and perforce must be excellent in all its aspects.”Still and yet, the preferred destination of first-time travelers is almost always old Earth.
