Synopsis

Beyond Earth, nothing is guaranteed.Lost Sci-Fi Books 41 thru 60 brings together twenty stories from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, when science fiction writers were imagining journeys to Mars, voyages across the solar system, mysterious new planets and futures shaped by inventions that promised as much trouble as progress.Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick headline a fascinating group of writers whose stories range from desperate struggles in deep space to encounters with worlds that are not what they first appear to be. Machines become impossible to escape, distant planets conceal remarkable secrets, familiar communities take unexpected turns, and travelers discover that reaching another world may be easier than surviving what awaits them there.These stories come from an era when Mars was still mysterious, interplanetary travel remained a dream, and writers had an entire universe waiting for them to invent. That freedom produced stories filled with clever twists, unusual characters, dangerous journeys and wonderfully unpredictable ideas.Lost Sci-Fi Books 41 thru 60 brings twenty of those adventures together in one collection, preserving the excitement of vintage science fiction and the irresistible feeling that somewhere beyond Earth, something extraordinary is waiting to be discovered.

About Philip K. Dick

Over a writing career that spanned three decades, PHILIP K. DICK (1928–1982) published 36 science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned to deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly, as well as television's The Man in the High Castle. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, including the Hugo and John W. Campbell awards, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and between 2007 and 2009, the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
