Plot summary
The Earth of the 28th century is short of energy, and its people are produced in test tubes with their social roles chosen by computer. Godo is a cadet raised by his robot guardian Orga, who has come to love him. He loves living creatures rather than the ruthless space hunter's training, and he loves Rena, the daughter of Lord Eat, who is engaged to Rock. Rock, a dictatorial candidate for prime minister, sends Godo into deep space to capture the Phoenix, a celestial bird whose blood can heal drained planets. Rock intends to use it to revive the Earth, win power, and keep Godo from Rena. Godo is told that Orga must stay behind and be destroyed. Dr. Saruta and Orga join the voyage.
