About the Author:

In his illustrious forty-five year career as a novelist and author of short fiction, Robert Silverberg has belonged in the company of the best writers of the 20th century. His writing has been compared to Conrad, Huxley and Orwell.

From AudioFile:

Good science fiction is at the very least intriguing, often prophetic, cautionary. This collection meets all of these marks, sometimes excelling, sometimes lulling the listener into a light doze. We travel to miniature but conscious worlds of nature and hear tales of man versus machine, machine versus machine, man versus nature, and various other permutations. Many authors here are risk-takers and deserve kudos for that. But much of the collection suffers when read aloud--it translates poorly to the ear, being so conceptual. Some poor choices in readers accentuate the problem. But the set features good packaging and is perfect for sci-fi addicts.
