Viac o knihe
On an L.A. talk show, Arthur C. Clarke named Larry Niven as his favorite writer, a sentiment echoed by many, including the Baltimore Sun and Kirkus Reviews, which have called him "the premier writer of hard SF." Gregory Benford has described Niven as embodying the essence of SF personality over recent decades. In this collection, Niven showcases the best of his career, combining exceptional fiction with anecdotes and his trademark wit. The anthology features a range of essays, including introductions by notable figures like Tom Clancy and Frederik Pohl, alongside Niven's own reflections. Readers will find excerpts from his renowned works, such as "World of Ptavvs," "Ringworld," and "Protector," along with short stories like "Convergent Series," "The Meddler," and "Inconstant Moon." Niven also includes essays discussing various themes, including his humorous take on superheroes in "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." This comprehensive collection not only highlights Niven's storytelling prowess but also serves as a testament to his significant impact on the science fiction genre.
