BOOK NUMBER: 2166. CONTENTS: EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION: The three stories presented here were written specially for this book. They are the outcome of an unusual sort of literary challenge. Arthur C. Clarke, one of the world's best-known science-fiction authors, whose works include the novel Childhood's End and the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick's motion picture 2001: A Space Odyssey, was asked to write a brief essay setting forth a general theme for a science-fiction story. Clarke's theme then was offered to Robert Silverberg, Roger Zelazny, and James Blish, three award-winning science-fiction writers; each was told to use it as the basis for a short novel, and each was given no hint of the approaches the others were taking. The result is a trio of stories that differ markedly in style, technique, and tone, while demonstrating in three individual ways the uncomfortable possibilities that the future may hold for us. Foreword - Arthur C. Clarke; How It Was When the Past Went Away - Robert Silverberg; The Eve of RUMOKO - Roger Zelazny; We All Die Naked - James Blish. SYNOPSIS: Three fine novellas by science-fiction writers Robert Silverberg, Roger Zelazny, and James Blish, dramatize a theme set forth by Arthur C. Clarke: With increasing technology goes increasing vulnerability. Arthur C. Clarke, one of the world's best-known authors of science fiction, was asked to write a brief essay setting forth a general theme for a science-fiction story. Clarke's theme then was offered to Blish, Silverberg, and Zelazny. Each author was asked to use it as a basis for a short novel, and each was given no hint of the approaches the others were taking. The result is a trio of stories that differ markedly in style, technique, and tone, while demonstrating in three individual ways the uncomfortable possibilities that the future may hold for us. In We All Die Naked, James Blish makes a grim visit to Manhattan of the future, a city in which gas masks are normal apparel and atmospheric changes resulting from man's enterprises have wrought incredible consequences. The Eve of RUMOKO, by Roger Zelazny, considers the power, for good or evil, of a man whose name does not appear in the Central Data Bank, who lives outside the computerized supervision of human activity. San Francisco, 2003 A.D. is the setting for Robert Silverberg's How It Was When the Past Went Away, a story of the mass effect of a memory-destroying drug. Strong characterizations, the imminent plausibility and possibility of the worlds predicated, and perceptive commentary on human nature are the distinctive marks of these superior stories of the future. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
