A 1961 Science Fiction novel by Stanisław Lem, Return From The Stars tells the story of Hal Bregg, an astronaut who, after completing a 10 years long exploratory mission, returns to Earth where - due to Time Dilation - 127 years have passed in the meanwhile. Of course, technology and society changed immensely in the meanwhile, and the arriving astronauts find themselves classic Fishes Out Of Temporal Water. Hal Bregg is one of the few who decides to integrate himself into modern society on his own instead of being subjected to a long preparatory (and propaganda-sprinkled) educational course.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The future Earth is borderline overwhelming for Bregg at first - if only due to the staggering changes in technology, everyday life and architecture, but what upsets him the most is the "betrization", a treatment given to all children that eliminates violent impulses, but also removes bravado and the courage necessary for risk-taking. The question of whether an utopia of safety and peace is worth sacrificing derring-do is but one of the book's themes. | |

Challenge Seeker | |
| Return from the Stars / int_492ef6e3 | comment |
Challenge Seeker: Hal is distressed when he finds out that space missions are considered pointless in the future - and he finds the arguments for that persuasive. At the end of the book, a fellow astronaut argues that their mission was never intended to have any practical purpose - it was done for the challenge. | |

Alone in a Crowd | |
| Return from the Stars / int_76dc3807 | comment |
Alone in a Crowd: Hal, due to his experience as an astronaut. Especially that the crowd comprises of people who find he very idea of going there and doing these things just unthinkable. | |

Alien Geometries | |
| Return from the Stars / int_b3bdf232 | comment |
Alien Geometries: The first parts of the book, where Hal first steps onto the spaceship depot, are a confusing stream of consciousness because Hal is equally confused by the Bizarrchitecture surrounding him. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Return from the Stars / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Somewhat confusing to the girls themselves, but women's reactions to Hal vary from uncontrollable fear (and still trying to come for more) to outright fawning. | |
