Anotácia knihy

Once upon a time, the year 2000 had held a fascination for young people of the 1950s and 60s as the point beyond which the future predicted by decades of science fiction writers would arrive. Unfortunately, that future never happened and what we ended up with has been the somewhat disappointing present. Luckily, however, our imaginations are as sharp and bright as they ever were so that we can continue to look forward to a superfuture made up of flying cars, monorails, moving sidewalks, and space liners heading to Ganymede. It is in keeping with those dreams that the stories in this collection were written hopefully to recapture the spirit of optimism young people had for the future at a time when World War II was not that far removed from living memory and American heroes were square jawed soldiers or God fearing scientists who were as comfortable in the cockpit of a jet as they were in a laboratory. So if you are one of those SF fans who are still looking to the future for personal spacecraft, ruined Martian cities, or high speed rail service on Venus, then look no farther than these fables of a time that may yet come to pass!
