   I am finally (after perhaps 35 years) turning my mind and time to the   
   Wilhelm/Baynes translation of the Book of Changes (foreword by CG   
   Jung) and recall an extremely well done SF story at least 20 years ago   
   which involved the I Ching in its structure.  I cannot for the life of   
   me recall who wrote it but it is in the caliber of Pohl, Silverberg   
   etc, that is, "soft" SF.  The plot?  Future uneducated society sends   
   off astronauts to Alpha Centauri, long trip involving time dilation,   
   they do not slumber but must engage for aeons (subjective) solving   
   incredible problems, developing paranormal abilities, one deciphers   
   the I Ching and actually uses it, they are long forgotten when they   
   dramatically return as "Golden Ones" quasi gods...   
      
   It foretold SMS style and other things, and if I recall correctly, was   
   a masterwork.  I may have it in my library but it would be a sizeable   
   task to find it. Can anyone help?  I don't know the title or the   
   author as I have not read it for at least 15 years.   
      
   Best
