New Arrivals, Old Encounters
Ranging across the mind-blowing wastes of space and time, the dozen stories in New Arrivals, Old Encounters are by Brian Aldiss at his sharpest and most inventive. Here are space colonizers, god creators, god implanters, visions of future Earths (on one of which the EEC has become a horrifying bureaucracy where people speak SpEEC) and new stories of the zeepees – the Zodiacal Planets.
Aldiss is known as a master of SF: NEW ARRIVALS, OLD ENCOUNTERS shows why.
