Seller's Description:
Near Fine. 1st printing. This book is square, solid, and unread. You'll be so thrilled When you receive this book, you'll feel as though you've stumbled into a cave and come across. an elven sword named Glamdring--or the crown of the fabled Prester John--a ring of invisibility. or even a Magic Lamp, prosaic as that may sound! You MAY even cartwheel with glee! In protective archival bag. NOTE: A very little bit of edge wear, price on the FFEP inked out, and there's an old half-crease to the upper righthand corner of the cover.
These are crisply written stories with vivid, sometimes exotic yet nonetheless involving plots and memorable characters. The author, Jack Williamson, is quite rigorous in his exploration of the impact of science and technology on mankind and his environment, especially in the stories written from the 1950's onward. "With Folded Hands" is one of the most powerful critiques of technological advancement ever written in the field of speculative fiction, a seamlessly written story that is unexpectedly chilling in its serene exposition of mankinds' unwitting descent into total dependence on machines. This is a superb anthology charting the career of an imaginative, spiritually and intellectually questing man.
