About 1950s Science Fiction 5: Rocket Men and Rogue Machines: Vintage Visions from the 1950s
The 1950s produced science fiction that could be adventurous, strange, funny, disturbing, and startlingly ahead of its time. 1950s Science Fiction 5 gathers 19 remarkable stories from that decade, featuring legendary authors and fascinating voices whose work deserves to be heard again. Isaac Asimov explores machines and humanity in Someday, Let’s Get Together, and Day of the Hunters. Philip K. Dick delivers three very different journeys with The Turning Wheel, Of Withered Apples, and Progeny. Robert Silverberg takes us to dangerous new worlds in Planet of the Angry Giants, Monsters That Once Were Men, and The Guest Rites. And that’s only the beginning. Robert Sheckley imagines a future where legalized killing has become entertainment in Seventh Victim. Poul Anderson takes the hunt to Mars in Duel on Syrtis. Harry Harrison brings technology and trouble together in Arm of the Law and The Repairman, while Frederik Pohl, Lester del Rey, and Algis Budrys deliver distinctive visions of futures where survival rarely goes according to plan. Across these 19 stories you’ll encounter hostile planets, strange visitors, dangerous machines, journeys through time, and people discovering that the future they imagined isn’t necessarily the future they’re going to get. 1950s Science Fiction 5 is a trip back to an era when writers were looking beyond Earth and imagining what might be waiting for us. From Asimov, Dick, Silverberg, Sheckley, Harrison, Pohl, Anderson, and more, these vintage stories prove that great science fiction never gets old.
