Dreaming Eden

I limit my interest in science fiction to the classics of the genre. I am strongly convinced that anything outside of the classic sense is a dump of mind-boggling ideas which account for fictional, but do little with science. Most of the authors fail to find the balance between comprehensive and comprehendible, turning their imaginative worlds into something hard to imagine.

Harry Harrison made a great contribution to the intellectual science fiction. His books are paradigms of how to balance imagination with realism. His captivating Eden series is a product of profound research and incredible creativity.

His Eden series deserve special attention as they extend our limited outlook. In our ignorance, we are quick to limit the extents of possible to what is natural for us. Whereas Harrison provides an alternative vision of the world; it helps to reassess human role on the planet. Unlike other sloppy sci-fi books, Eden carries wisdom.
