Yelling "Get off my lawn!" on an interplanetary scale...
Yes, your reaction to "The Turning Place" is wrong. Humans matter
in a way that other forms of life on Earth do not.
The final two novels, in which it's humanity that is at fault,
particularly the second-last one, do not sound interesting to
me because of their distressingly un-Campbellian nature.
Not that I approve of John W. Campbell's straitjacket for science
fiction, but stories can go too far in the opposite direction.
