5.0 out of 5 stars TRUE ANTICIPATION, 8 May 2004
By RAMON (Santander, SPAIN) - See all my reviews
I read this book years ago, when I didn't know what Sci-fi was.
The idea is truly simple and frightening: the main character is a scientist who invents a new type of glass which delays the passage of light without changing its properties. His discovery is soon used for good purposes (to stock light for energetic purposes, decoration, etc...) but soon it scapes control and is used for massive information gathering and to gain control of the population. In paralel, his personal life becomes more and more depressing, divorces...
Truly anticipative, bitter-sweet in its hopes and their terrific consequences. As is common with poor Shaw and other UK SF writers, his novels are seldom reprinted (only Orbitsville achieves this status).
Great entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars An underappreciated classic, 17 Mar 2009
Slow Glass is a new invention. Light travels through Slow Glass at a snail's pace, sometimes taking years to reach the other side. So events that happen on one side of the glass appear on the other side long after they happen. Initially it is used for entertainment: leave a window-sized piece of glass in the jungles of Africa for a year then instead of your view of the local gasometer you'll get herds of wildebeests stretching out across the Serengeti. But gradually the uses become more twisted...

This is a classic Bob Shaw work. He takes an original off-the-wall idea and builds on it with believable characters and intriguing situations to create a picture of how technology can effect us in surprising ways. This was originally a short story, but as it was anthologised many times, and the idea was just too good to not develop further, it was inevitable that a full novel would appear later. This means the novel is episodic, but even then this highly inventive and entertaining set of interrelated tales is a must read piece of sf.
