They Shall Have Stars (Cities in Flight, #1)

Rating: Despite its age it holds up for me.
I've always remembered this series as one of my favorites from when I was young. I finally found an ebook edition, so wanted to re-visit it.
It held up. It is upbeat, despite portraying an Earth which is a mess, torn by upheaval and despair, politically a mess. Yet visionaries look for ways to change the paradigm, and reach for the stars.
I'm tired of depressing books, and want ones that uplift us, that give us hope and remind us that we can achieve fabulous things so long as we believe we can. We can't just give in to despair. We have to strive against it.
