Dick, The Library of America now presents a twovolume anthology of nine groundbreaking works from the golden age of the modern science fiction novel. Long unnoticed or dismissed by the literary establishment, these outsider novels have gradually been recognized as American classics. Here are genredefining works by such masters as Robert Heinlein, Richard Matheson, James Blish, and Alfred Bester. The themes range from time travel (Fritz Leibers The Big Time) to postapocalyptic survival (Leigh Bracketts The Long Tomorrow), from the prospect of a future dominated by multinational advertising agencies (Pohl and Kornbluths The Space Merchants) to the very nature of human identity in a technological age (Theodore Sturgeons More Than Human and Algis Budryss Who?). The range of styles is equally diverse, by turns satiric, adventurous, incisive, and hauntingly lyrical. Grappling in fresh ways with a world in rapid transformation, these visionary novels opened new imaginative territory in American writing.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nations literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, Americas best and most significant writing.
