Description: For sale is Scop by Barry Malzberg, perhaps the most prolific and under-rated science fiction author of his generation. Most of his science fiction books are short, present-tense narratives concerned exclusively with the consciousness of a single obsessive character. His themes, particularly in the novels Beyond Apollo (1972) and The Falling Astronauts (1971) about the US space exploration program, include the dehumanization effects of bureaucracy and technology; his treatment of these themes sometimes exhibits strong resemblances to Franz Kafka, accompanied by unreliable narrator techniques. In novels like Galaxies (1975) and Herovit's World (1973), Malzberg uses meta-fiction techniques to subject the heroic conventions and literary limitations of space opera to biting satire. Book is a previously read paperback. (original copyright date precedes date of paperback edition) Scop – 1976, Pyramid Books 1976. 1st printing. Scop has gone back in time to prevent the assassinations of Kennedy, King, Malcolm and others and is failing, and perhaps causing them.
