Spinrad, Norman - The Star-spangled Future - Ace - 8151368 € 4,00 Essef - 1979 - pocket - 401 p. - Collection. American Dream or American Nightmare? Norman Spinrad describes The Star-Spangled Future: "America is something new under the sun. not so much a nation at all as a precog flash of the future of the species... I wrote believing that I was simply writing disconnected science fiction stories from whatever came into my head... And they all turned out to be about America, the leading edge of all possible futures unfolding around us... After all, that was what was coming into my head, that's the mother lode of science fiction realities - the American fusion plasma of which we are creatures - and all we have to do is keep ourselves open to it... that's my definition of science fiction. We have seen the future and it is us." (VG) |
