Gold (eBook, ePUB)

The Final Science Fiction Collection

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The final collection of fiction and essays by the most celebrated science fiction author of all time-including the Hugo Award-winning story "Gold." Isaac Asimov is widely considered both the inventor of science fiction as well as the genre's greatest practitioner. This wide-ranging collection is the final and crowning achievement of his fifty-year career as a writer. It includes an introduction by the renowned science fiction author Orson Scott Card. The first section contains stories that range from the humorous to the profound, at the heart of which is the title story, "Gold," a moving and revealing drama about a writer who gambles everything on a chance at immortality: a gamble Asimov himself made-and won. The second section contains the grand master's ruminations on the SF genre itself. And the final section is comprised of Asimov's thoughts on the craft and writing of science fiction.
