3 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
'What use to a being that lives beneath a sun are jewels of gas and silver stars of ice?' From a giant of twentieth-century science fiction, these four miniature space epics feature crazy inventors, surreal worlds, robot kings and madcap machines. Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.

I‘m working my way through the set of 50 Penguin Moderns in order. This is number 9 and I was pleasantly surprised. I *really* don‘t do science-fiction but I enjoyed these 4 short stories, particularly the first, title, story.

I‘d give it 3.5 stars, not bad for sci-if!

Big thanks again to @Oryx for this! A fun little read. Loved that each story had a moral. A great little sci-fi collection. 5🌟

Oryx Glad you liked it. I read one of his novels, and was very odd, but good. 6y
laurieluna @Oryx stacked! He has such an imagination. My favourite was King Globares and the Sages 😊 6y

Pretty #jbuk mail from @Oryx 😍 thank you so much!
You did a dangerous thing though. You sent me a book that is part of a collection. I'm a sucker for collections! 😂

Oryx Uh oh. And there's about 60 books in that collection! Sorry! 😉 6y
