New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
This is the best geek wish-fulfillment fantasy I know, and I've also heard that it's Richard Dawkins's favorite science fiction novel. Make of that what you will. It's The Future, as imagined in the late 50s, and by the time I read it the book was already feeling a bit dated. But, oddly enough, that only adds to its charm. Scientists discover a huge cloud of gas, heading directly for the solar system. When it arrives, it will blot out the Sun for months, creating the greatest natural catastrophe since the meteorite impact that killed the dinosaurs. Hoyle, as one would expect, gets all the details right; this is his home territory. I love the bit where they write a program to calculate the Cloud's position based on the gravitational effect it has on the orbits of the outer planets. Apparently, in this version of The Future, they haven't even invented Assembler yet, much less FORTRAN. As the Cloud gets closer, all sorts of interesting and unexpected things happen. I'm afraid I can't say any more without dropping major spoilers, but it's both imaginative and scientifically plausible. This is a classy disaster novel.The disaster scenario is great, but the reason geeks love it so much is the main character. Kingsley is an absurdly idealized version of the author; brilliant astrophysicist, all-round polymath (he has great taste in classical music and reads Herodotus on the train), irresistible to women. If your partner is a geek with cultural pretensions and he hasn't come across The Black Cloud, get him a copy for his birthday. Then look him in the eyes and tell him you bought it because Kingsley reminded you so much of him. Trust me, this will pay off bigtime._________________________________________Kragh's Cosmology and Controversy throws interesting light on this …

Note : review is somewhat spoilerishBack in the 1950s it was comforting to know that all difficult challenges to the future of the human race, such as from the obliteration of the sun by a drifting cloud from outer space causing a month long instant ice age preceded by Biblical floods, cataracts, typhoons, hurricanes and violent convulsions of nature, and the death of at least 750 million people, mostly in the tropical zones, could be mulled over, pondered upon and solved by English men sitting around an open fire in their “rooms” smoking pipes and decanting a decent whiskey fetched from the cellar by some offstage non-speaking role lackey. Famous astronomer Fred Hoyle wrote the cosiest possible book in which a quarter of the human race dies horribly. This was his first novel and it seems that he wrote it before he read anyone else’s science fiction. It’s as if someone told him what science fiction was and then he thought he’d have a go at it in an idle moment, but he couldn’t quite remember what the guy had said. But well, he knew what fiction was, sort of, and he knew what science was all right, so he jammed them both together and Bob’s your uncle – lots of pages with daunting actual mathematical formulae festooned upon them, other pages with actual diagrams, and lots of smoke-wreathed conversations where blokes say to each otherIt looks to me as though the volume of the cloud is roughly ten to the power of 40 cc. Its mass is about 1.3 times ten to the power of 30 gm which gives a density of 1.3 times ten to the power of minus 18 per cm cubed. In one chapter they drone on about the ionisation of particular wavelengths for what seems like hours. They just don’t know how to have normal conversations. When one astronomer gets a little frosty with a politician he tells him …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
“We tend to give ourselves a pat on the back when we contemplate our successes, as if to say that the Universe is following our logic. But this is surely to put the cart before the horse. It isn’t the Universe that’s following our logic, it’s we that are constructed in accordance with the logic of the Universe. And that gives what I might call a definition of intelligent life: something that reflects the basic structure of the Universe.” (p. 172)There may be two reasons Hoyle's classic has endured in the minds of sci-fi cognoscenti. The first is its premise: a mammoth interstellar cloud, moving at incredible speed and headed directly for Earth, is suddenly spotted by observatories around the world. Astronomers busy themselves with plotting its course and assessing all potential dangers. Getting an insider's view of how science happens is what gives this one its legs. The scientists squabble over their favorite theories, wrangling over this and that nicety, only relenting once a better argument is put forward. The fusion of exhaustive, authentic physics and stepwise logic elevates the traditional sci-fi trope of having experts solve existential crises to something memorable. In this respect, The Black Cloud (1957) is hard sci-fi at its best.The other reason has to do with its central character, Christopher Kingsley, who turns out to be an almost absurdly obvious ectype of the author himself. Tetchy, confident, brilliant, hostile to authority and the sluggishness of Parliament—Kingsley is everything Fred Hoyle embodied throughout his illustrious yet controversial career. Hoyle was infamous for his heated disagreements with colleagues and gauche forays into other fields. Among the more high-profile blunders include his claims that sunspot activity causes flu epidemics and that the Archaeopteryx fossils (yes, all of …
