October the First is Too Late

More years ago than I care to count, a friend gave me this book to read.  When I awoke this morning the first thing that came into my consciousness was its title. I still have the paperback.

Written 45 years ago, this little science fiction story that explores the nature of time and the fate of mankind--prophetic, disturbing, sobering--oddly enough, contains passages that've paralleled my own thinking in weeks past watching my birth country, the environment, and the world in general, on so many levels, seemingly imploding.

Is it, really, too late.
