Table of ContentsReviewsI found a wonderful SF classic - Silverberg's Son of Man (1971) - that is being reissued by Pyr Books this summer. This is definitely not Silverberg's most popular work but it may very well be one of his best. So those of you who are looking to sample some of the good stuff from almost 40 years ago can check this out. It's about a man who is transported to a future Earth where everything is changed beyond his recognition... -- Barnes & Noble Book Clubs, Fantasy & Science Fiction moderator, Sept. 15, 2008, in selecting Son of Man as one of three October 2008 Book Club reads! As an example of New Wave writing, Son of Man is as good an example as can be found, displaying clarity as well as breadth. A fascinating experiment, historically relevant in the history of the genre. - -St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis, MO, January 11 2009 Read Son of Man as an exercise in expansion of the ol' brain cells; your intellect will love you for it! --AstroGuyz.com, January 7, 2009 Author InformationRobert Silverberg has been writing science fiction for fifty years.
