Ένας απέραντος ωκεανός ανατρεπτικών ιδεών, ένας ορίζοντας απροσδόκητων απόψεων, ένας φρέσκος τρόπος σκέψης. Μια νέα πραγματικότητα, γι άλλους φρικιαστική, γι άλλους τραγελαφική, γι άλλους παρανοϊκή – για κανέναν, όμως, η γνώριμη πραγματικότητα. Αυτό είναι το σύντομο διήγημα.
Το βιβλίο αυτό είναι μια συλλογή τέτοιων διηγημάτων – για πρώτη φορά στα ελληνικά πράγματα – από μάστορες της Φανταστικής Λογοτεχνίας, όπως ο Fredric Brown, o Philip Jose Farmer, o Isaac Asimov, o Harlan Ellison, o Arthur Clarke, o Robert Silverberg, o Ambrose Bierce, o A.E.Van Vogt και πολλοί πολλοί άλλοι.

Robert Silverberg is a highly celebrated American science fiction author and editor known for his prolific output and literary range. Over a career spanning decades, he has won multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards and was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2004. Inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1999, Silverberg is recognized for both his immense productivity and his contributions to the genre's evolution.
Born in Brooklyn, he began writing in his teens and won his first Hugo Award in 1956 as the best new writer. Throughout the 1950s, he produced vast amounts of fiction, often under pseudonyms, and was known for writing up to a million words a year. When the market declined, he diversified into other genres, including historical nonfiction and erotica.
Silverberg’s return to science fiction in the 1960s marked a shift toward deeper psychological and literary themes, contributing significantly to the New Wave movement. Acclaimed works from this period include Downward to the Earth, Dying Inside, Nightwings, and The World Inside. In the 1980s, he launched the Majipoor series with Lord Valentine’s Castle, creating one of the most imaginative planetary settings in science fiction.
Though he announced his retirement from writing in the mid-1970s, Silverberg returned with renewed vigor and continued to publish acclaimed fiction into the 1990s. He received further recognition with the Nebula-winning Sailing to Byzantium and the Hugo-winning Gilgamesh in the Outback.
Silverberg has also played a significant role as an editor and anthologist, shaping science fiction literature through both his own work and his influence on others. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, author Karen Haber.

Περιττό να πω ότι λατρεύω τις πολύ μικρές ιστορίες κι ότι εφόσον το βιβλίο περιείχε Φρέντερικ Μπράουν θα το αγόραζα ούτως ή άλλως... Καταπληκτικό!
Μα το λέει κι ο τίτλος. 70 πολύ μικρές ιστορίες. Αληθινά κάποιες είναι περίπου 50 λέξεις. Βούτυρο στο ψωμί μου! Κι όχι όλες αλλά οι περισσότερες είναι καταπληκτικές.
Από Φρέντερικ Μπράουν προτιμώ τις βινιέτες του. Την Απάντηση ας πούμε που είναι το all-time favorite διήγημα εφ για μένα. Δε θυμάμαι κάποιο άλλο που να μου ΄χει κάνει τόσο μεγάλη εντύπωση.

Διασκεδαστικό και ανάλαφρο για οποιαδήποτε στιγμή μελαγχολίας... Το διάβασα πριν 16 χρόνια αλλά τώρα θα το ξαναδιάβαζα άνετα με τη γνωστή μέθοδο "ανοίγω σε τυχαία σελίδα (και ότι και να γίνει δε θα ξανανοίξω σε άλλη αν δεν τελειώσω αυτή που άνοιξα..)"

Αρκετά ενδιαφέρον βιβλίο, η ιστορία μου τράβηξε αμέσως την προσοχή, αλλά όταν τελείωσε ανέμενα περισσότερα να συμβούν. Είχε μια βασική ανατροπή η οποία θα μπορούσε να θεωρηθεί προβλέψιμη, αλλά παρά αυτό, είναι ένα δισκεδαστικό βιβλίο και το προτείνω!
