All Aboard the Clarke Mindship Blasting off for Parts Unknown in Inner and Outer Space!
From the author who brought you 2001: A Space Odyssey comes a delightful and fascinating universe of ideas. For those of you who are worried about what the neighbors will think, there is what is purported to be an old Martian document which tells us what our nearest neighbor has to say about life on Earth.
Later in the book, Clarke goes on to explain the proper etiquette for contacting and dealing with aliens from outer space, or what to do if they get here first....
Ranging from the light fantastic to the extremely possible, this collection is divided into five sessions: Talking of Space; Outward from Earth; The Technological Future; Frontiers of Science; and Son of Dr. Strangelove, Etc.
Here is great reading for the many followers of Arthur C. Clarke, who will also enjoy LOST WORLDS of 2001, and ISLANDS IN THE SKY, both available in Signet editions.
And soon to be published in Signet editions: THE CITY AND THE STARS, A FALL OF MOONDUST, THE SANDS OF MARS, and other favorites.
