Birthright: The Book of Man is a brilliant novel of science fiction that carefully constructs a blueprint of mankind's history—social, political, economic, scientific, and religious—for the next 18,000 years.

Since Mike Resnick first wrote Birthright: The Book of Man in 1982, he has emerged as one of the most honored science fiction authors of his time, picking up some twenty-five Hugo and Nebula nominations and awards. He has set twenty-five novels and a novella in the future that was outlined in this book. For those who missed it the first time around, Birthright: The Book of Man is a mind-boggling, all-encompassing science-fiction book.
