Fabulous Book!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Famous science Fiction Stories : Adventures in Time and Space (Modern Library Giant, 31.2) (Hardcover)
Robert Heinlein's "The Roads Must Roll" was a major influence on my decision to be an engineer. A. E. Van Vogt's "The Weapons Shop" is practically an ode to the second Amendment "THE RIGHT TO BUY WEAPONS IS THE RIGHT TO BE FREE". Harry Bates' "Farewell To The Master" became the movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still". There is an unexpected twist in the book version. I have the chrome toy robot "Gort" from the movie sitting on my desk as we speak. I won't even mention teenage boys and Patricia Neal. John W. Cambell writing as Don Stuart has "Who Goes There", the basis for the movie "THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD" starring 6' 7" James Arness (RIP). Life changing stories all! This was the science fiction anthology that proved the viability of the format.

Technofiction review of "Famous Science Fiction Stories",

This review is from: Famous science Fiction Stories : Adventures in Time and Space (Modern Library Giant, 31.2) (Hardcover)
This is truly a wonderful collection. I first read it in high school and it wowed me. The stories are true classics, and I really miss that this kind of writing is so hard to find in contemporary science fiction.And... if you'd like to find more writing such as this, you may want to take a look at my Tales of Technofiction series. I was inspired by this book, and I have endeavored to be true to its nature in my writing. Tips for Tailoring Spacetime Fabric by Roger Bourke White Jr. is one of several Tales of Technofiction books I have written. Have fun,
