High above the planet Florinia, the Squires of Sark live in unimaginable wealth and comfort. Down in the eternal spring of the planet, however, the native Florinians labor ceaselessly to produce the precious kyrt that brings prosperity to their Sarkite masters.

Rebellion is unthinkable and impossible. Not only do the Florinians no longer have a concept of freedom, any disr...more

I bought the darn thing probably around fifteen years ago when I was a teenager and on an Asimov kick. What I didn't realize at the time was that it was the only novel in the Empire series in print. Being slightly picky about such things (and probably not totally realizing that the novels aren't all that related) I tried to order the other two, failed, and then put this volume aside for quite some time. Eventually due to the magic of the Internet, I was able to find used copies of the other two and I was able to satisfy my strange urge to read them all in a row.

Was it worth it? Actually, it was. I'm glad that I read it after the first two volumes because there's such an uptick in . . . I won't say "quality" because all three are decent but however you want to quantify the elusive factor known as "knowing what you're doing." Inspiration, maybe? That could be it. This one feels more inspired.

After a beginning where a scientist predicts that a planet will be destroyed to someone who not only openly scoffs but then proceeds to drug and mindwipe the poor guy, we're shifted to the world of Florina, ruled by Sark. Upon arriving we discover worker Rik, who was mysteriously found in a field a year ago knowing little more than a baby did and slowly putting himself back together and learning basic skills. Until more than basic science skills come back to him, kicking off a search that threatens to drag every conceivable faction into the mess.

Of all the Empire novels, this one shows off Asimov's sometimes underrated skill at building intensity, something that we only really saw in the early Robot novels. Far from being bound to acting like a SF novel, at times it seems more like a political thriller with SF trappings as everyone seeks to gain the upper hand by finding out who knows what and when, and more importantly, what they don't know. Meanwhile Rik is caught in events without having much idea how he even got involved in this stuff in the first place. A vast stretch of the novel doesn't even involve him, as the faction on Sark and the agents from Trantor all vie to intimidate each other and figure out who the mole might be, almost like Asimov had gotten bored with good ol' Rik (who isn't much of a character beyond the amnesiac scientist type). In fact, when the novel isn't ignoring Rik, it's looking at the Townsman as he goes on a minor killing spree as he tries to evade the authorities, coming as close as Asimov ever did to that slippery beast he called "action." His quirk of staking anything that might quicken your pulse in the periphery is already in full force, with killings being described after the fact, or in such clinical brushed off detail that a friend of a friend of a friend might as well be telling you about it. It becomes maddening after a while, especially when you're waiting for a fight scene to break up all the people talking at each other and the book decides to give you more people talking about the fight scene you just missed. Gah.

But his footing is surer here than the other Empire novels and you finally get a sense that he's figuring this stuff out. The relationship between Sark and Florina is fairly well thought out in its totalitarian complexity and the tangled politics between Sark and Trantor ground the settings with a new urgency, so that it feels like the events that are happening here matter. All the political maneuvering between the Squires and Trantor doesn't quite reach the sophisticated heights of CJ Cherryh but comes close to stuff that Poul Anderson would be doing in his own series of novels. You can see a lot of instances here where other SF writers would take and refine these concepts further (the whole Spatio-analytics concept seems like something Van Vogt would have had fun with). I don't know who did it first, or if this book was influential at all but it's always neat to see the roots.

Still, it's got flaws. As I mentioned, its talky in that Asimov way, where pages and pages go by of people debating things. This would be less of a problem when the central conceptual hook was good enough to justify all that chatter (the Robot novels, mostly, as most of the Foundation stories are shorter) but here it's not quite enough. Rik isn't a very strong character, we're supposed to feel bad that he's being buffeted by events out of his control and thus feel sorry for him but it's hard to get too worked up when his initial warnings are ignored by even the novel. It also seems like Asimov treated romance much the same way as action, handled off screen, which means that anyone who is a woman gets a bit of the shaft in terms of their narrative potential, mostly being around to add some local color. But what's worse is that the idea that is supposed to get us into the novel, the imminent destruction of the world, almost becomes a MacGuffin of sorts, in the background until the plot requires it to be and handled with any sort of sense of urgency or worry.

Which means you stick around for the scenery and the political action. In this case it's strong enough to save the novel. Not enough to make it one of his all time classics but such a cut above the other two that you can definitely see the well from which the actual classics would eventually spring. (less)

The story itself isn't so great. It has the usual Asimov character development and mystery. The interplay between the two main planets and their peoples is interesting, and Asimov continues to create a future that is self-similar to our past. The supposed enlightenment of mankind has not yet happened - he doesn't visualize that it will ever happen. We remain, in his future, a broken and fundamentally unfair species.

The story's backdrop takes place during Trantor's rise to Galactic Empire. The plot opens with a "spatio-analyst" earthling named Rik left on the planet Florinia after his mind was scrambled by a botched "psycho-probe" session and a woman named Valona to care for him and keep him out of trouble.

The story unfolds as Riks memory slowly returns and as his memory returns the danger and plot thickens. The interplay between flashbacks and the current time frame builds depth in the mystery and assists...more

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Asimov, an absolute science fiction great, is genius in his ability to remain timely with The Currents of Space, nearly 60 years after it was published. He has successfully woven a comprehensive and complex tale that weaves a valid story that features so many aspects such as politics, race and class, economics, love and loyalty, psychology, and good 'ole basic human weakness. You'd think that with all of that, The Currents of Space would be a heavy read. Surprising it isn't, another testament to Asimov's writing prowess.
I recommend it to anyone to read, including teens and adults. If my ten year old could handle the political stuff, I'd give it to her to read too.
The Currents of Space was published in 1952. This is the most astonishing point to me, as some of the insights into racial/cultural/class issues are ahead of their time, written with an understanding that comes from someone who might never have had to suffer the injustices he writes about with such fluency and sympathetic understanding.
Florina is a planet renown for growing kryt, a product used to make clothing that only the most privileged can afford to wear. The native Florinians, fair-skinned and typically blond and blue-eyed are the "slave" labor used to produce kyrt. The Florinians are considered stupid and child-like. The Sarks, a ruling class that originates from the planet of Sark and has colonized Florina, benefits most from the production of kyrt. Kryt cannot be successfully grown on any other planet, for reasons we don't learn until the end of the novel, hence making it an even more valuable commodity.
The distinct parallels between our regrettable history of slavery, racism, and classism and the lives of those in this book is significant. Kyrt=cotton. Florinians=Africans. Sarks=the wealthy. None of this however, is astonishing. The elements which captured and surprised me were Asimov's insights into real human motivations, and how he was able to use this insight to create believable sympathetic characters...on both side of the divide. Actually, I should say on all sides of every division. As in real life, there really is no black and white, but instead multiple shades of gray.
The Currents of Space ends in that ever gray area, which is much more akin to real life. In other words, while there may be some elements of redemption, there are no true winners and everyone loses something. Nevertheless, the conclusion was a satisfying one.
When I took a political science course in college many years ago, I had to read Orwell's Animal Farm. While an interesting read, I think that this book would have been even better as a unique fictional entre into the world of politics and issues of class and race. It would have been a tad more relatable in any case as here, we are dealing with actual human beings.
I didn't know, until I started writing this review that The Currents of Space is actually the second book in a trilogy called The Galactic Empire series. The preceding book is called The Stars, Like Dust, and the succeeding book is called Pebble in the Sky. I'll have to dig up the other two and get to reading those as well.
There is only one other science fiction book that I have read, with similar elements, that I liked as much, actually better, and that would be Robert Heinlein's, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
I give this one 5 stars.(less)

Currents of Space is one of Asimov's Empire novels written in the 1950s. It might be fun to read this just to ponder on the science fiction aspects of the advanced thinking of that era. Shortcomings of technology and advanced science aside, Asimov really can't write a bad story. Included in this short novel are interesting presentations of many of the aspects of life, including politics, economics, race and social class relations.

I recently re-read Asimov's Galactic Empire and Foundation trilogies, having not read any of them since I was a teenager. They were all written in the 1950's and boy does it show! Although they're set many thousands of years in the future, characters read newspapers, smoke, and treat women like... well, like it was still the 1950's.

This book was a fun read. It was my first Asimov book so it has a sentimental emotion attached to it.
The general style of the story is a typical early Asimov timeline. The writing of it has an amateur feel to it, however, being one of his earliest works it's quite understandable. I enjoyed the story, it gave interest for reading his other works which I have enjoyed as well. This story painted a quite a decent picture in my mind as I read and will remember.

Currents was one of Asimov's earlier published works and for being early in his game it is well written and relatively complicated, though the science is now outdated. I don't know if it is fare (and I am not sure if it was just the week I had when I read this book) but I kept falling asleep when I tried to read Currents. Intellectually the book seams good, and maybe my rating is just not fair... Maybe I will need to reread it some time to come to a concrete conclusion.

Professor Asimov is generally considered the most prolific writer of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. He has works published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System (lacking only an entry in the 100s category of Philosophy).

Asimov is widely considered a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series, both of which he later tied into the same fictional universe as the Foundation Series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He penned numerous short stories, among them "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time, a title many still honor. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of nonfiction. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.

Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include his Guide to Science, the three volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery.

Asimov was a long-time member and Vice President of Mensa International, albeit reluctantly; he described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs" He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, a Brooklyn, NY elementary school, and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are named in his honor.
