Suddenly Brunner has said that science fiction was exceeded. The tomorrows, technology at the service of man, all that, who still believed in it? True science fiction, the one that counts, is now speculative fiction, and would apply the treatment that classical SF gave the hard sciences to the humanities. The result is confusing, exhilarating, both SF, sociology and anticipation. And behind it all there writing Brunner to guide you through this journey of initiation. SF has been revolutionized by this book, you'll probably be too.
