The Andromeda Strain

Still exciting, still suspenseful, even after all these years. I really appreciated the no-nonsense, Official Report tone. There were things that jarred 2020 me: the lack of women in the book. No military members, no scientists, just a couple in very very minor roles - a crazy old lady, a wife answering the door, an unnamed technician who runs rather than helps. Because that was what scifi books, even those quite mainstream, rather than genre, like this one, were like in 1969. I'm glad things are so different now.
