Book Review:
''The Sirian Experiments'' is the third volume in Nobel laureate Doris Lessing's celebrated ''Canopus in Argos: Archives'' series, shortlisted for the 1981 Booker Prize. It chronicles the origins of Earth as three galactic empires fight for control of the human race. Told by Ambien II, a Sirian administrator, the story follows her moral awakening as she witnesses the colonization of Earth. Blending myth, fable, and allegory, Lessing creates a new cosmology to look at the world in a new way, offering a starting perspective on earthly affairs. It's a visionary work for science fiction fans.
