This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We rely on your support to help us keep producing beautiful, free, and unrestricted editions of literature for the digital age.Will you support our efforts with a donation The Cosmic Computer is a 1963 science fiction novel by H. B…eam Piper based on his short story ¿Graveyard of Dreams,¿ which was published in the February 1958 issue of Galaxy Magazine.The action largely takes place on the planet Poictesme, which is full of abandoned military installations and equipment¿hence the novel¿s original name, Junkyard Planet. Young Conn Maxwell returns from Earth with long-awaited news about Merlin, a military computer with god-like abilities long rumored to be hidden somewhere on Poictesme. Though convinced that the story is just a myth, Conn and his father use the purported search for Merlin to drive the revitalization of the planet¿s economy. In the process, they discover far more than they expected.As was typical for science fiction novels of the pulp era, there is little character development and women play a minor role, with romance given only a token treatment. The emphasis is on the conflicts over the spoils of the planet and the fiercely competitive search for the titular ¿cosmic computer.¿ 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Cosmic Computer by H. Beam Piper is a science fiction novel set on the planet Poictesme, a world left in economic ruin after serving as a strategic base during the System States War. The protagonist, Conn Maxwell, returns home from… Terra after studying cybernetics, with the expectation of finding the legendary supercomputer, Merlin, which is believed to solve all of the planet's problems. However, Conn discovers that Merlin is nothing more than a myth, a morale-boosting rumor from the war. Despite this revelation, Conn decides to perpetuate the myth to inspire hope and action among the people of Poictesme. He plans to organize a company to search for war-surplus equipment and potentially build a hypership to explore other planets in the system. Conn's father, Rodney Maxwell, supports the plan, recognizing the need to revitalize the planet's economy and spirit. The novel explores themes of belief, deception, and the power of hope in the face of adversity. As Conn navigates the complexities of change and the expectations of his community, he must balance the truth with the necessity of inspiring action, all while dealing with the personal and ethical implications of his deception.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 244 pp. Englisch.
