About this book

Mack Reynolds was one of the busiest writers in mid-century American science fiction, and this collection gathers short work he published in the digest magazines of the pulp era. His stories tend to think about systems, money, and politics as much as rockets, imagining future societies and asking how ordinary people would actually live inside them. The set includes the wry tale Tourists to Terra, in which bored pleasure-seekers from the far future book trips to Earth so they can drop into famous battles for a thrill, a premise Reynolds uses to poke at both history and human appetite. The range runs from interplanetary adventure to quieter social satire. Free PDF and EPUB editions are available here.
