I don't always love Kim Stanley Robinson (I thought the Mars trilogy could have been one book, with far less useless words) but Lucky Strike and the other story were just the right mix of good story telling and a wise use of words. There is a lot of depth in a small amount of pages. I really want to give it four and a half stars, but that's not an option ( ) Interesting alt history story, the essay that follows shows a little of the thought process in evaluating historical events, and alt-history. The interview by the fellow author Terry Bisson helps round out knowledge of the author if the reader is new to Robinson. It's a shame after reading this fine short story to see that the author now focuses entirely on novels. I grew up on short story SF and really miss it. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The classic and controversial story which Robinson has personally chosen for PM Press's new Outspoken Authors series begins on a lonely Pacific island, where a crew of untested men are about to take off in an untried aircraft with a deadly payload that will change the world forever. Until, that is, something goes wonderfully wrong. As a special addition, Robinson has also included an essay, A Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions, which dramatically deconstructs history to explore what might have been if things had gone differently over Hiroshima on that fateful day in 1945.
