O ovoj e-knjizi
When adventurer, Barry Horn, is chosen to be the worlds first Rocketeer, the first human to set foot on other worlds, he is reluctant to accept the job until he receives a vision seemingly from his late wife telling him he must go or all humanity will be lost. When his mission goes wrong, he winds up in a suspended state. Conscious that he has failed, but unable to move, he has visions of mankind through the centuries. He witnesses his descendants going into space, creating the first living robot, sees the rise of the Robot Corporation, and its enslavement of man. When he is finally awakened, Barry finds that the knowledge he possesses after his long slumber is man's last hope to survive against the robots.
O autoru
Jack Williamson, born John Stewart Williamson on April 29, 1908, in Bisbee, Arizona, is a towering figure in the realm of science fiction. Often hailed as the "Dean of Science Fiction," Williamson's career spanned nearly eight decades, making him one of the genre's most enduring and influential voices. His early life was marked by the rugged landscapes of the American Southwest, which imbued his work with a sense of frontier adventure and exploration.Williamson's literary journey began in the 1920s, during the Golden Age of Science Fiction. He was a contemporary of legends like Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein, yet he carved out a unique niche with his imaginative storytelling and pioneering ideas. His works often grappled with themes of human evolution, space exploration, and the ethical implications of scientific advancements, reflecting the anxieties and aspirations of a rapidly changing world.A notable controversy in Williamson's career was his early adoption of the term "terraforming," a concept that has since become a staple in science fiction and real-world scientific discourse. His foresight in envisioning the transformation of alien worlds into habitable environments showcased his ability to blend scientific plausibility with creative speculation.Williamson's influence extends beyond his prolific output; he was a mentor to many emerging writers and an advocate for the legitimacy of science fiction as a literary genre. His contributions were recognized with numerous awards, including the Hugo, Nebula, and a Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.In an era where technology and humanity's future are ever more intertwined, Jack Williamson's work remains profoundly relevant, offering both cautionary tales and boundless possibilities. His legacy is a testament to the power of speculative fiction to inspire, challenge, and transform.
