Four for the Future

Więcej o książce

Four major science fiction writers stretch their creative muscles on the theme of 'Sacrifice' and 'Redemption' and produce one of the most fascinating, startling and readable SF anthologies ever published. Brian Aldiss studies the implications of an extended lifespan - a blessing or a curse? In Poul Anderson's High Treason a space fleet commander commits treason to avoid war with another race and his Dipteroid studies the moral dilemma posed by a race for whom cannibalism is a biological necessity. James Blish asks the question: what happens when an irresponsible dropout gains control of the ultimate weapon? Harry Harrison rounds off the anthology with an SF variation on the castaway theme and a disturbing vision of the future where organ transplants are part of everyday life.
