Historia
The Einstein Intersection won the Nebula Award for best science fiction novel of 1967. The surface story tells of the problems a member of an alien race, Lo Lobey, has assimilating the mythology of Earth, where his kind have settled among the leftover artifacts of humanity. The deeper tale concerns, however, the way those who are "different" must deal with the dominant cultural ideology. The tale follows Lobey's mythic quest for his lost love, Friza. In luminous and hallucinated language, it explores what new myths might emerge from the detritus of the human world....

Historia
The story of a truly galactic civilization with more than 6,000 inhabited worlds. Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is a science-fiction masterpiece, an essay on the inexplicability of sexual attractiveness, and an examination of interstellar politics among far-flung worlds. First published in 1984, the novel's central issues - technology, globalization, gender, sexuality, and multiculturalism - have only become more pressing with the passage of time.

Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society.

Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the 20th century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

Historia
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Resumen del Editor
Given that the suns of Draco stretch almost 16 light-years from end to end, it stands to reason that the cost of transportation is the most important factor driving the 32nd century. And since Illyrion is the element most needed for space travel, Lorq von Ray is plenty willing to fly through the core of a recently imploded sun in order to obtain seven tons of it. The potential for profit is so great that Lorq has little difficulty cobbling together an alluring crew, including a gypsy musician and a moon-obsessed scholar interested in the ancient art of writing a novel. What the crew doesn't know is that Lorq's quest is actually fueled by a private revenge so consuming that he'll stop at nothing to achieve it.
In the grandest manner of speculative fiction, Nova is a wise and witty classic that casts a fascinating new light on some of humanity's oldest truths and enduring myths.

Winner of the 1973 National Book Award, Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the 20th century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

The Einstein Intersection won the Nebula Award for best science fiction novel of 1967. The surface story tells of the problems a member of an alien race, Lo Lobey, has assimilating the mythology of Earth, where his kind have settled among the leftover artifacts of humanity. The deeper tale concerns, however, the way those who are "different" must deal with the dominant cultural ideology. The tale follows Lobey's mythic quest for his lost love, Friza. In luminous and hallucinated language, it explores what new myths might emerge from the detritus of the human world....

The story of a truly galactic civilization with more than 6,000 inhabited worlds.

First published in 1984, the novel's central issues - technology, globalization, gender, sexuality, and multiculturalism - have only become more pressing with the passage of time.

When Earth escapes the inhibiting field, synapse speed immediately increases, causing a rise in intelligence, which results in a transfigured humanity reaching for the stars, leaving behind our earth to the less intelligent humans and animal life-forms.

Born in New York City’s Black ghetto Harlem at the start of World War II, Samuel R. Delany married White poet Marilyn Hacker right out of high school. The interracial couple moved into the city’s new bohemian quarter, the Lower East Side, in 1961. Through the decade’s opening years, new art, new sexual practices, new music, and new political awareness burgeoned. Beautifully, vividly, insightfully, Delany calls up this era of exploration and adventure as he details his development as a Black gay writer in an open marriage, with walk-ons by Bob Dylan, Stokely Carmichael, and more.

Classic
Nova is a classic for a reason. It’s inventive, creative, filled with fascinating characters. Recommended. It can also be a bit melodramatic - an element which is only heightened by the narration. It’s not bad narration, per se, but more like something my crazy uncle would provide, having convinced himself it’s something he’d be a natural at. He’s not. But still. It didn’t turn me off from listening. You might want to sample it first, though, just in case.

Delany is tops
This is one of his best SF novels, which means it is one of the best SF novels. It won plenty of awards when it was published, and deservedly so. Clever plot twists, silver tongued writing, and a believable story make this a great introduction to an important writer.

Just as fresh as my first reading 4+ decades ago
I bought this novel by Sam Delany in the summer between high school and my first year in collage. I read it whenever I could. Lunch breaks, smoke breaks (though I didn't smoke) and even skipping TV shows to get to back to this book. It was finished in less than a week and I was hungry for more. Delany had woven a galaxy filled with places and characters that exploded with uniqueness and mystery. It ranted with adventure and revenge and it pulled itself together by way of the impossible. It had its quirky madmen, scholarly good guys, off the road vagabonds and beautiful mysterious ladies who could predict your future or call back your past. This novel was written before Star Wars was even conceived yet it had plug in technology, as seen in Matrix and Space travel as vast and exploratory as Dune. And because Delany had obviously done his science homework he took the time to fill in the blanks on how a thousand years of our future history produced the marvels spoken of in here. I've so admired this work that I've always kept a copy in my library. So, when I saw it in audible form I grab it without a second thought. What a treasure. And now my compliments to the narrator, Stefan Rudnicki, who gave every character their whole, unique and distinct personalities while living thru their experiences with familiarity and fervor. Bravo! - I've read a lot of Sci-Fi in the last 50 plus years and this one still stands out as one of the true BEST. Please, if you're a real sci-fi fan don't pass this one up. After all don't you wanna know how to dive into the heart of a star and come out alive? Ha!

An excellent narration, but story was only ok
I didn't like the story or the ending very much, however Stefan's narration was excellent and kept my interest until the end. I would likely not have finished a print version of this novel.

Intriguing narrative and excellent reading
Most of the novel feels like a really long exposition. I kept waiting for the narrative to properly get going and suddenly it was all over. The experience made me think hard about what the point of the novel actually was and all the world building and the subtle commentary within. Don't worry, at the surface level it's not particularly difficult to follow the storyline. There are some sudden shifts but you should be alright if you pay attention to which chapter you are in.
I will probably listen to it a few more times. The reader is excellent 👌.
