Sobre IBD

The Steam-Driven Boy is John Sladek’s first collection of brilliant, eccentric, darkly satirical and downright weird science fiction stories. As a bonus, it includes his parodies of SF authors, uproariously spoofing Asimov (and the Laws of Robotics), Ballard, Bradbury, Dick, Poe, Cordwainer Smith, and more.

Like many of Sladek’s earlier books, Wholly Smokes is almost impossible to categorize, other than to say it is the fictionalized history of a tobacco company, one which seems to have been present at, or had bizarre influence on, many of the great moments of history. ...
