Sinopsi

This science fiction novel is about the convergence of three things: science, power, and freedom. I enjoyed reading the book, though I like my heroes to be a little less ruthless. The concept of matter transmission was interestingly developed in a way that I do not often see. (Rhys Pierce)áAbout the author:Clifford Donald Simak (August 3, 1904 - April 25, 1988) was an American science fiction writer. He won three Hugo Awards and one Nebula Award. The Science Fiction Writers of America made him its third SFWA Grand Master, and the Horror Writers Association made him one of three inaugural winners of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement.From 1950 to 1986 Clifford Simak wrote more than 30 novels and four non-fiction works, with Way Station winning the 1964 Hugo Award. More than 100 of his short stories were published from 1931 to 1981 in the science fiction, western, and war genres, with 'The Big Front Yard' winning the 1959 Hugo Award for Best Novelette and 'Grotto of the Dancing Deer' winning the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Short Story in 1981. One more short story, 'I Had No Head and My Eyes Were Floating Way Up in the Air', had been written in 1973 for publication in Harlan EllisonâÇÖs never-published anthology The Last Dangerous Visions and was first published posthumously in 2015.One of his short stories, 'Good Night, Mr. James', was adapted as 'The Duplicate Man' on The Outer Limits in 1964. Simak notes this is a 'vicious story-so vicious that it is the only one of my stories adapted to television.'The Science Fiction Writers of America made Simak its third SFWA Grand Master in 1977, after Robert Heinlein and Jack Williamson. In 1987 the Horror Writers Association named him one of three inaugural winners of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement, with Fritz Leiber and Frank Belknap Long.
