Shadows in the Sky
List Price:
$4.99
Description
Six tales of space exploration, some in the near future, others in the golden imaginary past of alternate history. Contents include Changes, In Saturn Time, Harvest Moon, Down in the Dark, The Rocket into Planetary Space, and In the Age of the Quiet Sun. These stories were previously published in Amazing Stories, Aboriginal, and Asimov's Science Fiction. Imagine what our lives might have been like if certain things had gone the way we all wanted, once upon a time. Imagine if things in the offing right now went as well as they could possibly go. Imagine what your life might be like then. Or, if you like, imagine things going just about as horribly wrong as the universe can arrange. There's a future like that, too, somewhere in this book.

What will you do when the Sun goes out? That’s the question two fiftysomethings, living out the bitter endgame of their wasted lives, must answer. It’s the end of the world, not just as they know it, but for real. Paul and Scott have been the best of friends since childhood, ever since they checked the same book out of their elementary school library, but they’ve come to loath one another, as life’s catastrophes slowly beat them down. Now, a real catastrophe will kill them, and everyone else in the world, unless they find a way to survive. The answer they come up with is utterly heroic. And it will make or break them as men.

Description
It’s called the Gray Goo Disaster, a story that’s been told in many ways, almost a subgenre unto itself in the universe of science fiction. They say it’s the inevitable result of nanotechnology, that, sooner or later, someone working in a laboratory or on some future factory floor will say, “Oops!” And that will be that. Gray goo washes over the world and humanity is no more. Sometimes survivors escape to the stars. Sometimes the gray goo itself has some goodness in it, and humanity is allowed to live on. But the reality...? No one knows. If we’re lucky no one will ever know. In “Radio Silence,” a group of blue collar mechanics, men and women lucky to have jobs in a world of endless automation and endless leisure, find themselves swept up in a version of the gray goo disaster. They struggle to survive, and to find a way to stop the disaster. They do find a way to do both, a solution that is as shocking as the disaster itself.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 1936This out- of-print classic returns, in a new paperback edition, through the Vanderbilt Library of American Philosophy.
