Interstellar Empire collects The Altar on Asconcel, The Man from the Big Dark, The Wanton of Argus/The Space-Time Juggler Interstellar Empire is a fixup of a novella & two short stories published in '76. In his introduction, Brunner explains he wanted to write sword & spaceship stories. To do so, he had humanity find a huge cache of warehoused spaceships left behind by an earlier race. Thus they could have top-notch space travel without the technological development required to invent it. The stories are also set in the waning days of a vast interstellar empire that is crumbling badly, so that some planets are still firmly under imperial control, some are struggling to stay that way & others have gone their own way. The novella, The Altar on Asconel, concerns three brothers who join forces to try to liberate their home planet after it's been taken over by cultists from the far reaches of space. The 3nd story, The Man From the Big Dark, concerns the efforts of one man to warn a planet that they're about to be invaded by space pirates. The 3rd story, The Wanton of Argus, involves a struggle over who shall become regent for a young king after his father's death. It has a surprising twist at the end involving a time traveler who wants to make sure things turn out right.--Gail O'Connor (edited).…

Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. ,HIER VOLGT EEN EXTRA POLITIEBERICHT," zei de radio. ,GERUCHTEN ALS ZOU DE ZON UITGEGAAN ZIJN BOVEN SANTA YUEZ MISSEN ELKE GROND." Vervuiling - sociaal, moreel, politiek, industrieel - is het sleutelwoord tot het Amerika van de nabije toekomst. De zeeen zijn vervuild, de rivieren verstikt, het land vergiftigd door buitensporig gebruik van insecticide, in de steden gaat niemand de deur meer uit zonder 'filter-masker' en de zon is permanent verduisterd. John Brunner boekstaaft deze ontwikkeling gedurende een heel jaar, hij volgt de levens van een aantal totaal verschillende karakters uit alle lagen van de maatschappij. Velen zijn er al uitgestapt, een paar proberen nieuwe wegen te zoeken voor het behoud van de mensheid, maar die ene man, waarvan miljoenen hopen dat hij de oplossing heeft, wordt niet gevonden. DOEMWERELD is meer dan een SF-speculatie, het is de angstaanjagende werkelijkheid. Het is, inderdaad 'een fascinerende en briljante schets van de uiteindelijke technologische hel die we aan het scheppen zijn'. (SUNDAY TIMES).…

Hij ontmoet de excentrieke auteur en theaterregisseur Manuel Delgado die bezig is acteurs en actrices van alle mogelijke gezelschappen bijeen te brengen voor een eigen produktie, een avant-garde-stuk dat behalve door een voormalige alcoholist bezet moet worden door een lesbienne, een junkie, een pornografie-verzamelaar, een pederast én een onduidelijke, maar beeldschone jonge vrouw. Douglas komt erachter dat het geplande stuk op zichzelf genomen niet zo belangrijk is, maar dat Delgado dient als dekmantel om zijn medewerkers als marionetten te kunnen manipuleren .…

"Brunner is credited with coining the term 'worm' (in computing) and predicting the emergence of computer viruses in his 1975 novel The Shockwave Rider, in which he used the term to describe software which reproduces itself across a computer network. Brunner's work has also been credited for prefiguring modern developments such as genetic engineering." (from Wikipedia).…

Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten. In 2020, an international space team, exploring Sigma Draconis, 19 light years from earth, discovers the remains of a highly advanced society that has left behind as its most spectacular artifact the largest telescope imaginable, carved & polished from a natural moon crater. Successive space crews determine that the native culture evolved & disappeared mysteriously after a mere 3000 years of existence. It's now 2028. Another mission reaches the planet with just one goal--to discover why the civilization disappeared--& with just one hope--that this knowledge will prevent the same thing from happening on earth. Exhibiting that rare sense of sf mystery that distinguished Arthur C. Clarke's 2001, John Brunner weaves a haunting tale of how 30 people attack the nearly insuperable task of unriddling the mysteries of a long-buried culture. Was it a fatal virus, an internecine war, a religion of lunatic brutality or a deleterious mutation that destroyed an entire civilization? All remains hypothesis until Ian Macauley unravels the riddle. But does it provide a solution to human problems & will the answer reach earth in time. …
