About the author

Brian Michael Stableford was a British science fiction writer who published more than 70 novels. His earlier books were published under the name Brian M. Stableford, but more recent ones have dropped the middle initial and appeared under the name Brian Stableford. He also used the pseudonym Brian Craig for a couple of very early works, and again for a few more recent works. The pseudonym derives from the first names of himself and of a school friend from the 1960s, Craig A. Mackintosh, with whom he jointly published some very early work.

[Manuela Sophie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interessante. Anche se la lettura è molto veloce, il finale insieme alle note dello scrittore porta il lettore a diversi spunti di riflessione.

Futuristico. Omaggiante. Vittoriano.
