Daily Telegraph
'Mr Aldiss...displays his usual exuberance in exploring human reactions to new ideas, new advances in technology. He ranges a wide spectrum of fantasy.'
Product Description
There are eight imaginative excursions in this classic collection that will take you out of this world and out of time, posing such questions as: how would the human mind react in a non-human body, and would universal laughter save the world? The collection includes Basis for Negotiation, in which Britain is the neutral country in a Third World War; The Game of God, a true science fiction about parasitology; and Old Hundredth, which was written for the centenary edition of New Worlds, Britain's oldest science fiction magazine.
