Produktbeschreibung
A fresh light on a bygone era, After Some Tomorrow invites readers to step into a world where ideas collide with the everyday. This is a science fiction collection that reads with the intimacy of a story circle and the sweep of a social canvas, a short stories anthology that mixes utopian speculative fiction with bright, piercing social satire. Set in postwar America and steeped in midcentury American science fiction sensibilities, Reynolds's tales explore the promises and perils of progress, the ambitions of ordinary people, and the unexpected costs of utopian schemes. The book speaks to classic science fiction fans and casual readers alike, offering accessible narratives that spark curiosity about technology, society, and human aspiration. For short story enthusiasts, the collection delivers compact, deftly crafted visions with memorable characters and sharp ideas-some retro futurism stories that feel both nostalgic and alarmingly relevant. Historically significant and stylistically bold, the collection sits at a fascinating crossroads of 1950s America setting and enduring speculative imagination. It's more than a reprint: a collector's item and a cultural treasure that preserves a pivotal moment in the genre. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, these tales are restored for today's and future generations-welcoming new readers while honouring the craft and vision cherished by classic midcentury science fiction.
Autorenporträt
Dallas McCord "Mack" Reynolds (1917 - 1983) was an American science fiction writer. His pen names included Dallas Ross, Mark Mallory, Clark Collins, Dallas Rose, Guy McCord, Maxine Reynolds, Bob Belmont and Todd Harding. His work focused on socioeconomic speculation, usually expressed in thought-provoking explorations of utopian societies from a radical, sometime satiric perspective. He was a popular author from the 1950s to the 1970s, especially with readers of science fiction and fantasy magazines. Reynolds was the first author to write an original novel based upon the 1966-1969 NBC television series Star Trek. The book, Mission to Horatius (1968), was aimed at young readers.
