I'm a fan of early sci fi, so I was looking forward to this anthology. It didn't disappoint me all. It was a bit uneven, with a couple of the stories less exciting than the others, but overall a good representation of the time. And the stories of that time seemed to deal much more with moral issues than today's science fiction. In particular, The Weapons Shop, delved deeply into our psyches regarding weapons for the masses. Killdozer was another one that held my attention. The idea of a sentient being (quite evil in my opinion) taking over a machine may be old hat today. When it was written, it was new and fresh and inventive. It still has the feel of a new viewpoint, though it's 60 years later. Definitely worth the read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

a lot different from today's mess of thrillers-full-of-plot-error. if today's writers would turn off the action movies and read this stuff we'd see a lot better new fiction ( )
