The Shape of Further Things

“We are infinitely rich, yet we mess about with penny‑in‑the‑slot machines,” writes Brian W. Aldiss in this autobiographical work written over the course of one month. From his Oxfordshire home, he ruminates on dreams, education, the role of technology in our lives, the rise and function of science fiction, and a variety of other topics.  The Shape of Further Things  is a window into the life and mind of a Science Fiction Grand Master.
