Сирил Майкл Корнблат — библиография

Вам говорят: не упустите момент. Вам советуют вверить себя в руки Господа. Вас уверяют: что-то еще может измениться. Но если вы — измученные многолетней битвой с судьбой родители «особенного» ребенка, которым выпадает шанс спасти кого-то другого, «поперспективнее»? Если впервые в жизни вам готовы гарантировать, что ребенку и впрямь станет лучше — кому вы поверите?

For every evil under the sun, there’s an answer. It may be a simple, direct answer; it may be one that takes years, and seems unrelated to the problem. But there’s an answer—of a kind....

C.M. Kornbluth was one of the Futurians (with such luminaries as Isaac Asimov, Frederik Pohl, Donald A. Wollheim, etc.) and produced a remarkable body of work until his untimely death at age 35. This volume collects 8 of his classic short stories – the best of his best – plus an introduction and bibliography by Bud Webster. &t;br/&t; Included are: &t;br/&t; "The Cosmic Expense Account" "The Adventurer" "The Altar at Midnight" "The Marching Morons" "The Little Black Bag" "Theory of Rocketry" "Make Mine Mars" "Time Bum"

At first it was just a lark–bribing the stewards to steal food, bribing the conductors to steal blankets, raiding the club car, becoming a trainful of drunks. But then–then they began stealing morphine, and after that they began swapping mates, and after that… Finally the lights went out. And a modern-day miracle of streamlined engineering was turned into a cage of evil, human beings become beasts, and for three days the meaning of civilization was forgotten, and carnality ruled!

A future North America is divided between rival criminal gangs the Syndic on the East Coast and the Mob in Chicago, who have driven the federal government into exile in Iceland, Ireland and other North Atlantic islands. Life has more or less returned to normal in Syndic territory – as long as protection money is paid on time. The rest of the world has collapsed into either peasant life or tribalism.

"The Marching Morons" is a look at a far future in which the world's population consists of five billion idiots and a few million geniuses – the precarious minority of the «elite» working desperately to keep things running behind the scenes. «The Marching Morons» is a direct sequel to «The Little Black Bag»: it is easy to miss this, as «Bag» is set in the contemporary present while «Morons» takes place several centuries from now, and there is no character that appears in both stories. The titular black bag in the first story is actually an artifact from the time period of «The Marching Morons»: a medical kit filled with self-driven instruments enabling a far-future moron to «play doctor». A future Earth similar to «The Marching Morons» – a civilization of morons protected by a small minority of hidden geniuses – is used again in the final stages of «Search the Sky».

Dr. Michael Novak quits his job at the Atomic Energy Commission, where he worked with the group of scientists on a secret project, to apply for the job with the American Society for Space Flight.

Now he is forced to finish the project he is suspicious about as well as to try to figure out who killed the chief engineer.

Halsey's Planet is in decline, and when a generation ship arrives, having failed to contact six other planets, Ross is sent to discover the state of the interstellar colonies. He is given a ship which can make the trip from colony to colony almost instantaneously. The technology used in the ship has been kept secret because it could give rise to interstellar war if one colony decided to conquer others. However, the isolated populations are also affected by genetic drift resulting in a decline in their societies.

The Syndic: A future North America is divided between rival criminal gangs the Syndic on the East Coast and the Mob in Chicago, who have driven the federal government into exile in Iceland, Ireland and other North Atlantic islands. Life has more or less returned to normal in Syndic territory – as long as protection money is paid on time. The rest of the world has collapsed into either peasant life or tribalism. Wolfbane: This science fiction novel takes place in the year 2203. A rogue planet, populated by strange machines known as Pyramids, has stolen the Earth from the Solar system, taking it off into interstellar space. The global population has crashed to a hundred million, due largely to the radical climate changes that followed the arrival of the alien planet. Most of the surviving humans are 'Citizens,' passive people living lives bound up with elaborate social rituals, various styles of meditation, and carefully prescribed selflessness.
