A bizarre combination of fascinating plots and truly deep, philosophical subtext - this is the work of Samuel R. Delaney (born in 1942), a prominent representative of the “New Wave” of American fiction, a worthy companion of Michael Moorcock, Roger Zelazny and Robert Silverberg.Works Deleni's novels "Crossing Einstein", "Nova", "Babylon 17" - were awarded the most prestigious science fiction awards, entered the "golden classics" of the genre - and, most importantly, once and for all changed the "style and style" of science fiction in the second half of the 20th century century. Why? Read it and you will understand for yourself!
