Reader reviews for Gateway
Review summary
Readers widely praised the novel’s ingenious first?contact premise, the Gateway setting, and its unconventional structure (therapy sessions, ads, and flashbacks), as well as its gritty economic realism. Many, however, were alienated by the abrasive, often reprehensible protagonist and the Freudian robot?therapy sequences, and some found the social attitudes—especially around sex, abuse, and homosexuality—dated or troubling. Pacing and the ending divided opinion. Despite these reservations, a substantial contingent regards this award?laden 1970s release as a compelling, influential classic.
