Science Against Man by Anthony Cheetham
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4 mb
Overview: In this collection of original short stories, commissioned and edited by Anthony Cheetham, eleven of the most brilliant imaginations of our time examine the role of scientific progress in the development of man – has it been a blessing or a curse? Man and his science have altered beyond recognition the environment in which man evolved: how will he now face the challenge of his new environment? These concerns are not solely those of the science fiction writer, for the nightmares of only ten years ago are now fact, and many of the interpreters in the current volume tilt at issues which are only too relevant at the present moment in time.
Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Norman Spinrad imagines a tomorrow when two very contemporary issues achieve a logical and horrific reality.
James Blish imagines a tomorrow when there are too many of us according to the statisticians. But what can a statistician do? One of them finds out.
John Brunner imagines a tomorrow when the psychologists must learn to deal with a new kind of patient-more (or less) than human.
Harry Harrison imagines a tomorrow when teachers can teach history by taking their students into yesterday. But students are as students have always been.
