Rate this book
Jeffrey Thomas, autor licznych opowiadań fantastycznych i horrorów, podejmuje nowe wyzwanie w swym zbiorze dziewięciu wzajemnie powiązanych opowiadań klasycznej fantastyki naukowej. Umiejscowienie akcji opowiadań w scenografii zaawansowanej technicznie i zróżnicowanej kulturowo cywilizacji pozwala na ukazanie ludzkiej kondycji w warunkach zwykle niespotykanych. Thomas przedstawia sytuacje i reakcje ludzkie w zderzeniu z problemami z pogranicza etyki, nauki i socjologii, ukazując pełen wachlarz potencjalnych ludzkich ograniczeń oraz zakres zachowań jednostki ludzkiej.
