The New Adam finds himself not in Eden, but in a crowded world of men and women who look like him but who cannot comprehend his powers or his unique mentality. Nature had placed Edmund Hall a rung higher on the ladder of evolution than the men around him. How could he live in a world populated by creatures as far below him as the ape is below us?

There are some original ideas (certainly for 1939) and a surprisingly substantial amount of surprisingly direct discussion of sex. The second half of the book works better than the first half. And I found the glimpses of life in 1930s Chicago moderately interesting.
The inside cover blurb of my 1969 Avon paperback says that Weinbaum worked on this novel for nine years, and it has the feel of a book where the author knew that he hadn’t quite made his idea work, so he kept tinkering away, convinced that he could fix it, but in all likelihood only making it even more of a complicated mess.
