Présentation de l'éditeur
'Haven't you ever thought to yourself after a pleasant evening - or even after a dull afternoon - that if you could but have it all again, preferably in slow motion, then you could trace in it all the varied strands of your life?' In The Shape of Further Things, originally published by Faber in 1970, Brian Aldiss presents an autobiographical work that explores both past and future. An intriguing book that explores a wide range of topics, offering a memorable perspective on the developing thoughts of a Science Fiction writer and a critique of the function of Science Fiction in society.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Flat signed by Brian W. Aldiss on title page. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Foxing to top edge. *Autographed by author.* Brian W. Aldiss was a prominent British writer, renowned primarily for his contributions to science fiction, though his literary output extended across various genres, including travel literature, short stories, autobiographical works, and literary criticism. Born in 1925 in East Dereham, England, Aldiss developed an early interest in American pulp magazines, which laid the groundwork for his future writing career. His experiences in the British Army during World War II, especially in Southeast Asia, deeply influenced his thematic focus on isolation and human relationships in his narratives. Signed.
