A Window on the Universe.

Our choice for next month is  A Window on the Universe.
It is a collection of short Stories by Ray Bradbury, Bill Brown, Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke, Jerome Bixby, Isaac Asimov, Brian Aldiss, Roald Dahl, and John Wyndham.
The stories featured in the book are:

ZERO HOUR by Ray Bradbury
THE STAR DUCKS by Bill Brown
HUMAN IS by Philip K. Dick
IT´S A GOOD LIFE by Jerome Bixby
THE MACHINE THAT WON THE WAR by Isaac Asimov
WHO CAN REPLACE A MAN by Brian Aldiss
STICH IN TIME by John Wyndham
THE SOUND MACHINE by Roald Dahl
THE HAMMER OF GOD by Arthur C. Clarke

The book is NOT available for reading online or for free download in PDF but it can be bought second hand from Amazon at a very reasonable price.
Anyway , there’s lot of information on the Internet about the stories and the authors, and in some cases long excerpts, especially of  IT´S A GOOD LIFE by Jerome Bixby and THE MACHINE THAT WON THE WAR by Isaac Asimov.

If you feel like listening to a radio programme based on THE ZERO HOUR , click here:
