Synopsis

The Ultimate Clifford D. Simak SF Collection showcases a masterful compendium of Simak's seminal works, celebrated for their profound anthropological insights and philosophical depth within the realm of science fiction. This collection encapsulates a variety of narratives that explore humanity's relationship with technology, nature, and the cosmos, characterized by Simak's distinctly lyrical prose. Each story serves not only as a thrilling exploration of speculative futures but also as a reflection of the human condition, steeped in the rich context of mid-20th century anxieties about advancement and alienation in a rapidly changing world. Clifford D. Simak, an American writer whose career spanned several decades, established his reputation in a literary landscape increasingly dominated by technological themes. His upbringing in rural Wisconsin profoundly influenced his perspectives on nature and humanity's role within it—elements that are woven throughout his stories. As a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and an avid farmer, Simak's blending of Science Fiction with environmental consciousness offers readers a unique lens through which to view the possibilities of the future. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of humanity's possibilities and dilemmas, The Ultimate Clifford D. Simak SF Collection is an indispensable treasure. It invites both long-time fans and newcomers to immerse themselves in Simak's visionary narratives, providing a thought-provoking exploration that resonates with contemporary concerns about civilization and the cosmos.

    We are all busy in this world building Towers of Babel; and the child of our imaginations is always a Changeling when it comes from nurse. This is not only true in the greatest, as of wars and folios, but in the least also, like the trifling volume in your hand. Thus I began to write these papers with a defi nite end: I was to be the Advocatus, not I hope Diaboli, but Juventutis, ' I was to state temperately the beliefs of youth as Opposed to the contentions of age; to go over all the field where the two differ, and produce at last a little volume of special pleadings, which I might call, without misnomer, Life at Twenty five. But times kept changing, and I shared in the change. I clung hard to that entrancing age; but, with the best will, no man can be twenty-five forever. The old, ruddy convictions deserted me, and, along with them, the style that fits their presentation and defence. I saw, and indeed my friends in formed me, that the game was up. A good part Of the volume would answer to the long-projected title; but the shadows Of the prison-house are on the rest.
