Some of the best science fiction short stories ever written
31. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This collection contains some of the best science fiction short stories ever written. It includes "Inconstant Moon", a story about the sun flaring up and people on the night side knowing about it due to the brightness of the moon. Since they have knowledge of astronomy, the main characters are simply waiting for the dawn of a new day and the end of the world. This was my favorite story in the collection.
A close second was "Man of Steel" a discussion of the difficulties inherent in Superman from Krypton cross breeding with a human female. The material on the physical difficulties of sex and gestation are factual and entertaining. Niven also demonstrates his scientific knowledge in the stories "Exercise in Speculation: The Theory and Practice of Teleportation" and "The Theory and Practice of Time Travel." As he so clearly demonstrates, the practical difficulties of doing either one are extremely formidable.
I read this book for the first time approximately 20 years ago and enjoyed it just as much this time. If I am fortunate, I will read it again in another 20 years.

The best collection of short stories I have ever read!
17. Juli 1998
Format:Taschenbuch
Larry Niven's best short stories in one collection. Very hard to find b/c of its popularity. Stories are based on scientific facts and theories, as in "The Theory and Practice of Teleportation", and are often humorous, as in "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex," discussing how Superman's sperm would tear apart Lois Lane. Niven has wonderful ability to take scientific fact or theory and exploit the absurd aspects of it, while still presenting a intellectually stimulating story or essay. The title short story is my favorite short or long story ever, exploring the possibility of alternate unverses, in which every choice that could ever have been made, was made all possible ways.
Excellent; worth the title story alone.
3. Dezember 1998
Format:Taschenbuch
The nonfiction essays, as exercises in informed speculation, are well-done. But my favorite parts of this classic are the two main stories: "All The Myriad Ways," and "Inconstant Moon." The latter story is better than "Titanic." I've got an old 1975 copy of this, complete with cheezy 70's computer fonts on the cover.. boy am I glad my dad bought so many books before I was born! It's well worth seeking out a copy of this one... it will not disappoint.
