Here he is at his humorous, horrific, probing, experimental best in nine brilliant, very different stories...
BLOOD BANK - when men no longer master the Earth but are ruled by a race of androids who breed mankind for medical supplies...
ANYBODY ELSE LIKE ME? - how happily married Lisa discovers she`s telepathic when a young student invades her mind...
DUMB WAITER - the war is over, but the computer does not know and carries on...
NINE stories in all - a galaxy of reading
Fantastic set of short stories. Miller is so good.
Some of the themes are consistent with those in Canticle for Leibowitz. He has a few areas he likes to repeat. Man has created the ability to destroy itself, good and evil, etc. But he hits them from different angles.
There is a difference between tragedy and blind brutal calamity. Tragedy has meaning, and there is dignity in it. Tragedy stands with its shoulders stiff and proud. But there is no meaning, no dignity, no fulfillment, in the death of a child.
Some of the stories stuck with me for weeks after. I`d think about when when running, or sitting around. The ideas are deep, and the questions hard.
Anybody Else Like Me? in particular was haunting. I`m still thinking about it, a month later.
