Not This August

C. M. Kornbluth

Doubleday and Company, 1955

Revolt, American Style
When I first read this shortly after its publication in 1955, it struck me as a very powerful statement of not only a very plausible (if pessimistic) view of the future, but encapsulated the essence of the American spirit. The book envisions a US shortly after it has ...

His Share of Glory: The Complete Short Science Fiction of C.M. Kornbluth

C. M. Kornbluth, Timothy Szczesuil

Nesfa Press, 1997

One of the best books I've ever bought
OK, I've read most of these stories already. And I already knew that Kornbluth was a great writer. But reading this volume all the way through -- and in pretty short order because I couldn't stop -- just reminded me how great a writer he was. If you have only dim ...

Best of C. M. Kornbluth

C.M. Kornbluth

Ballantine Books, 1976

One of the best SF short story collections ever written...
There is not a dud in this book...each story is a stone-cold SF masterpiece by a true genius who was cut down in his prime at age 35. If you haven't read Kornbluth, you are missing out on some of the finest SF stories anywhere. Includes the widely acknowledged SF ...

The Space Merchants

Frederik Pohl, C. M. Kornbluth

St. Martin's Press, 1958

Cynicism at its thought provoking best!
Brilliantly written in the 1950s, "The Space Merchants" is a deeply cynical and darkly prescient dystopian novel in which advertising, conspicuous consumption and capitalism have run rampant in a world beset with overpopulation and environmental degradation. Mitch ...

The Marching Morons (Ballantine 303K)

C. M Kornbluth

Ballantine Books, 1959

it's coming true...
Written around 1951, this is a story about the future (from their standpoint) and how those of lesser intelligence bred like rabbits, while the smarter people refrained, and how this led to the population having an average IQ of 40. I read this as a teenager & never ...

Takeoff (Doubleday science fiction)

C. M Kornbluth

Doubleday, 1952

A Bit Dated But Good
"Takeoff" by C. M. Kornbluth was first published in 1952, and was nominated for the 1953 International Fantasy Award. Unlike the other nominee, "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut, or the winner "City" by Clifford D. Simak, "Takeoff" is a surprisingly ordinary book. It ...

Gladiator at Law

Frederik Pohl, C. M. Kornbluth

Baen, 1986

Welcome to America's Coloseum!
Unfortunately for sci-fi fans, Cyril M. Kornbluth had a very short life (1923-1958). Nevertheless he was able to deliver several very good novels. "Gladiator-at-law" (1954) in collaboration with his friend Frederik Pohl is one of them. First of all what an enticing ...

Robots - Isaac Asimov's Wonderful Worlds of Science Fiction #9

Harry Slesar, Robert Sheckley, ...

Signet, 1989

Robots: Machines in Man's Image By: Isaac Asimov
This book talked about everything I needed to know about robots. It covered everything from the creation of robotics till' the engineers who have created them. It gave me a complete and total history all the way back to the early 1700's. This book was entertaining, yet ...

Wolfbane (SF Collector's Edition)

Frederik Pohl, C.M. Kornbluth

Gollancz, 2000

Very strong, classic Golden Age start, weaker finish
On settling down with this novel (on recommendation, I think I recall, of Instapundit) I enjoyed the flash of recognition of the classic SF style. Written well, with interesting, unexplained phenomenology (mysterious pyramids, Earth moving from the Solar System), ...
