Son of Man by Robert Silverberg

A man called Clay is swept into a far-future on an Earth which knows nothing of Shakespeare, Mozart, Mohammad or Darwin. It is a planet inhabited by beings of great intelligence, ambivalent sexuality and extraordinary powers. Slowly, Clay, as he embarks upon a panoramic journey, encompassing a billion years, understands that the twentieth century was no more than a minute fibre in the band of time and was no more than the dawn of man. What has followed is the time of the Son of Man.
Robert Silverberg was born in 1935 and began to write while studying for his BA at Columbia University, publishing his first short story in 1954. He is one of the most prolific of all sf writers and among his many fine novels are Tower of Glass, Dying Inside, Downward to the Earth, Thorns, Shadrach in the Furnace and The Stochastic Man
