Book excerpt: The Penheniot Experimental Research Village was a top-secret community with an elaborate defence system to keep away prying eyes. Inside the walls men rushed ahead with practical experiments to develop a means of time travel, while outside the everyday world fell victim to more and more plagues, strikes and rioting. The world was on the brink of chaos.

Download or read book Benchmarks written by Algis Budrys and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years since 1965, Algis Budrys has emerged as the leading critic of mod­ern speculative fiction: insightful, ec­lectic, and notoriously uninhibited. Benchmarks collects the material that started it—all 54 Galaxy Bookshelf book-review columns Budrys created for the now-vanished Galaxy Magazine. Writ­ten for what was then the world’s leading SF periodical, these legendary summa­tions and summary judgments coincided with the period when newsstand-borne science fiction and fantasy were evolving from pulp toward literature. Budrys’ Galaxy reviews trace an incisive, some­times wickedly acerb path through that sparsely charted literary territory. Budrys defines his standards and his function in his own words: “A book should he good. A bird should fly. “Writers of imperfect, tousled books should be made aware that standards of breeding and grooming exist. I strive to fulfill that function.”
