McClary, Thomas Calvert: Rebirth: When Everyone Forgot. Hyperion Press, Inc.: CT. 1976. Reprint of novel first which first appeared in Astounding in 1934 and later published as a Bart House paperback in 1944. "Basic to his two sf novels, Rebirth: When Everyone Forgot (1934 ASF; 1944) and Three Thousand Years (1938 ASF; 1954), is the theory, reminiscent of Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), that a small scientific elite unhindered by the opportunism of businessmen and politicians could keep the world running in decency and comfort. Both are worked out in post-holocaust settings, intentionally and instantaneously precipitated in the former by means of a ray which obliterates all memory and in the latter by the transition of all lifeforms to a state of suspended animation. In both books the idealistic theory is set up only to be exploded" [John Eggeling/Richard Bleiler/Peter Nicholls/Encyclopedia of SF). (#7571) Fine copy as issued without dustjacket. |

It has been seen as a proto-cyberpunk work, but its cool, pellucid, dissecting style -- perhaps influenced by J.G. Ballard -- is far removed from the hectic insistence that has characterized much of that school" (Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

They are serious and interesting, but the characteristic solemnity of their presentation has alienated some" (Peter Nicholls/Encyclopedia of SF). (#210) Fine copy in an almost fine dustjacket. |
