Cities in Flight (Cities in Flight, #1-4)

This is one of the benchmark books in the world of "hard" science fiction and Blish did a superb job of creating one of the most unusual, but believable, cultures in the genre. I've read this book 3 times and, if I live long enough, will probably do so again in a few years.
I have one caveat, and it's something that many SF writers did in the early years. Too much scientific 'baflegab". And not simple baflegab, but stuff that would challenge the attention span of an advanced nuclear scientist. Fortunately, a lazy reader, like me, can skip over those bits without losing the thrust of the story line.
