The novel “Star Maker” by Olaf Stapledon was published for the first time in 1937.

When an Englishman’s consciousness is transported out of his body, a limitless journey into deep space begins. He arrives on a planet inhabited by intelligent humanoids, which he calls the Other Earth, where his consciousness merges with that of one of the natives. This is just the first stage of a much longer journey.

Together with his new traveling companion, to whom he remains attached, the man travels to other planets inhabited by sentient beings. Civilizations with similarities and differences compared to the human one are observed during their technological, social, and spiritual evolution up to a cosmic scale made up of various dimensions.
