The Unique Universe Of Cordwainer Smith
After reading and enjoying Norstrilia last year, I decided to finally pick up one of Cordwainer Smith's short story collections - The Instrumentality of Mankind. The stories covered here are- 1 No, No, Not Rogov! (1959) 2 War No. 81-Q (1928) 3 Mark Elf (1957) 4 The Queen of the Afternoon (1978) 5 When the People Fell (1959) 6 Think Blue, Count Two (1963) 7 The Colonel Came Back from the Nothing-at-All (1979) 8 From Gustible's Planet (1962) 9 Drunkboat (1963) 10 Western Science Is So Wonderful (1958) 11 Nancy (1959) 12 The Fife of Bodidharma (1959) 13 Angerhelm (1959) 14 The Good Friends (1963) (List taken from Goodreads, I actually missed out the review of story 12 but it's also good) This is a collection of 14 bizarre science fiction short stories that form part of his unique future history, spanning tens of thousands of years and hitting on some regular themes. Thanks for watching, liking and subscribing.
