UK Kirkus review
Clarke combines an astounding knowledge of physics and astronomy with a rare and mesmerizing imagination. This first collection of short stories displays the insight and dark, prophetic humour that has made him the reigning master of science fiction for the last five decades. These stories deal with the psychological battles of the human mind and its mastery of the technology it creates. Includes 'The Sentinel', which became the basis for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and a new preface by the author. This is one of the best examples of Clarke's work. (Kirkus UK)
