{"product_id":"9781941110645","title":"First-Person Singularities","description":"\u003cb\u003eFirst-Person Singularities\u003c\/b\u003e, stories by science fiction Grand Master \u003cb\u003eRobert Silverberg\u003c\/b\u003e, features eighteen tales written over the course of his forty-year career, all told in the first-person singular. Inspired by W. Somerset Maugham’s Six Stories Written in the First Person Singular, a fiercely realist collection from the 1930s, Silverberg takes on the challenge, offering up his own unique sci-fi twist and “running the gambit of singularity.”  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every story in \u003cb\u003eFirst-Person Singularities\u003c\/b\u003e offers a one-of-a-kind narrator: a dolphin feeling the pangs of love for a human being; a computer eager to convince us of its sanity; a Greek god who has surreptitiously survived into modern times; an alien visitor living in disguise in a New York City hotel. Even a pudgy, timid Henry James gets the Silverberg treatment as the witness\/narrator of H.G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds! Each story features a special introduction by Silverberg himself, providing the inside scoop on his experience writing for and publishing with the greatest science fiction magazines of the past and present.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFirst-Person Singularities\u003c\/b\u003e includes an introduction by Hugo-award winning sci-fi author John Scalzi (\u003ci\u003eRedshirts\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRobert Silverberg\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the giants of the sci-fi genre, with four Hugo Awards and six Nebula Awards to his name.
