New Angles on the Universe!
John Sladek is one of the most intelligent and versatile science fiction writers working today. With sharp insight and wicked humour he opens his readers' minds to new angles on space, time, machines and men. In this brilliantly entertaining collection you will encounter galactic spies, nightmarishly benevolent computers, some extremely peculiar aliens, offbeat time machines - not forgetting, of course, the Steam-Driven Boy itself...
In addition, John Sladek has included ten masterly parodies of the work of such all-time SF greats as Iclick As-i-move, Hitler I. E. Bonner, Barry DuBray, Carl Truhacker, Chipdip K. Kill and several others. Read them - and experience a new high in outrage!

This has been sitting on Mt TBR for too long, and I'm obviously never going to read it, so given to Sherlockfan for the NZBC convention, Wellington, February 16-18 2007.

Finished reading 24 September 2007. Id didn't appeal to me - most of it went over my head. Or under it. I'm not sure which.
