“The science fiction of the 1960s, with its narrative-busting experimentations is seen as being more daringly au courant and thus worthier of critical attention. Somewhere between the spacesuited squares like E.E. Doc Smith and countercultural innovators like Harlan Ellison, though, lies a golden seam that contains some of the century’s most thoughtful, jazzy, and dazzling literature.”

- Chris Barsanti,”Those Grand, Wicked Futures: The Library of America’s American Science Fiction: Nine Classics Novels of the 1950s.”
