Stand on Zanzibar: The Hugo Award-Winning Novel Audiobook

" This book blew me away when I first read it. I know now that this approach has been used by others, but for me it was a first. Besides the approach, the message and the prose are both excellent. "

" Back in print, finally. Can't wait to read again. (Now that I have, 28 or so years after the first time, I can say without reservation it's one of the best sci-fi books ive ever read.) "

" A sweeping and ambitious book - it's hard to imagine that it was written 55 years ago. The story takes place in 2010 and hits home in a lot of places. "

" didn't do alot for me "

" Interesting re-read of this classic, which I originally read in my teens. At 52, it's a whole new adventure. "

" Brunner's classic repulsed two prior attempts to engage its challenging style. I think I had to wait for reality to catch up with its wry cynicism (which dates from 1968). I made more headway this time but I couldn't get past the 1/3 point. "It's not you, it's me" I guess... "

" sci fi to the max "

" This is the original cyberpunk novel. Read this in high school. A classic! "

" One of the most accurate in the genre. Turns out that my job (synthesist) was reasonably well described (except for the military aspects) in the book. "

" Pretty interesting take on 2010 from a 1960's perspective. Well written, complex story. "

" I was amazed by this book--and also a little bewildered. There was so much going on that I found it hard to follow everything. However, I stuck it out and it all made sense in the end. I would like to read it again, just to see what new things I could get out of it. "

" ego but...I don't like the way the good guys are so good but the story works "

" This is one of the best Science -fiction novels of the 1960s. Some aspects of the book are somewhat dated-names of countries, slang-terms that the characters speak, to name two examples, it's overall message still speaks to us in 2011. Read it as soon as possible. "

" Un non-roman de science-fiction plutôt intéressant bien qu'il souffre de quelques passages un peu long. "

" this falls into the category of books that appeal to me because they depict beautiful things senselessly destroyed. "
