Condición: New. In English.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Consignment is a sharp mid-century science fiction story by Alan E. Nourse, combining medical speculation, moral pressure, and the uneasy human cost of technological progress. Nourse brings the precision of a physician and the pace of a practiced science fiction storyteller to a future in which systems meant to serve human need may also reduce human beings to inventory, obligation, or expendable material. Compact and unsettling, the story turns on the tension between efficiency, conscience, and the value of an individual life.First published during the classic magazine era of American science fiction, Consignment reflects Nourse's characteristic interest in medicine, social organisation, institutional power, and the ethical consequences of scientific advance. Readers of Golden Age science fiction, medical science fiction, dystopian speculation, classic short fiction, and socially engaged speculative writing will find here the clear narrative drive and moral seriousness that mark Nourse's best work.
