The Old Voices

A good many of these writers are now dead, and the rest are quite old, which is a shame. Some voices leave us too soon. Silverberg's "Born With the Dead" is a disturbing commentary and travelog. If you've ever had to let go against your will, this will reach you. LeGuin's "Day Before the Revolution" talks about waiting and wondering, as life passes one by. Grant, Zelazny, Benford, even editor Gunn. All these writers are now (and most of them even then) recognized for the brilliant evocations they can create. But besides that, these anthologies are a time capsule, a period piece of the art. Reading these reveals the character of the year in question, as seen through the eyes of society's futurists. Some predictions pan out, some fall flat, but through it all, you see the human condition set against the world.
