Reading Science Fiction Novels in English _ Search the Sky by Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth
"Search the Sky" is a work co-written by science fiction masters Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth in 1954. The novel is set in the distant future, when humanity has settled on several planets. The main character, Ross Karen, lives on a colony planet far from Earth and discovers that contact with the other colonies has been lost. He embarks on a space journey to solve this mystery and save the future of humanity. During his journey, Ross visits various planets and experiences different social systems and cultures. Through this, Pohl and Kornbluth satirically address various social topics such as government, religion, gender roles, and economic systems. "Search the Sky" borrows the format of an adventurous space odyssey to explore various aspects of human society and provides deep insight into the cycle of progress and regression.

Summary
Ross stood on the traders’ ramp, overlooking the Yards, and the word kept bobbing to the top of his mind.
Decay.
About all of Halsey’s Planet there was the imperceptible reek of decay. The clean, big, bustling, efficient spaceport only made the sensation stronger. From where he stood on the height of the Ramp, he could see the Yards, the spires of Halsey City ten kilometers away?and the tumble-down gray acres of Ghost Town between.
