The Man with the Strange Head and Other Early Science Fiction Stories by Miles J Breuer
Gathered here for the first time are Miles J. Breuer's first publication, The Man with the Strange Head; his neglected dystopian novel Paradise and Iron (appearing here in book form for the first time); stories such as Gostak and the Doshes and Mechanocracy; and Breuer's essay The Future of Scientifiction, one of the early critical statements of the genre.
“I have a great admiration for the writing pioneers who opened the territory for the rest of us, and Miles JBreuer was one of the most important. I’ll always think of him along with Jack Williamson, who welcomed me into the group and collaborated with me, as Breuer collaborated with him. As Heinlein urged, ‘Pay it forward.’ But we also have to pay it back.”—James Gunn, author of The Listeners
“I’m happy to see Breuer rediscovered. He was a pioneer of American science fiction.”—the late Jack Williamson, author of The Humanoids
"If, like a Breuer character, Breuer could journey forward to see this collection, he would have been pleased."—Ed Park, Los Angeles Times Book Review
