Narration Conducive To Books Отново и отново
След „Гробищен свят“ (№8) и „Градът“ (№36) сега читателите на „Галактика“ имат „Отново и отново“. Роман, който е между значителните постижения във фантастиката.

3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. This book alternately confused me with where it was going and what it was about, amused me with the dated-ness of Simak's future (newspapers, cigarettes, film, phone books, inkwells, etc. in the year 7,990), and astounded me with the author's huge concepts and storytelling. Briefly, it is about a man named Asher Sutton who travels alone to a star system that man has never been to before and returns twenty years later in a broken ship that couldn't fly without foodAlthough this book had a somewhat confusing construction (the world where it is set uses time travel on a regular basis, so that was only to be expected), it's a satisfying read, with simple themes that are reasonably well developed. The main characters are on a quest to give androids and humans equal rights, and several factions fight to get hold of the hero; on the whole, the novel doesn't really have time to give every character, group or nation the depth of construction they might deserve,
I love Simak. Whenever I'm in the mood for some old-time SF that can still be read with joy today, lacking the most pernicious queasy qualities of the time-period in which popular fiction thrived back then, I always turn to Simak. He never lets me down. It's just plain fun.This book is no different. It's a time-travel paradox story on the fringes, but at its heart, it's all about Destiny. A guy tries to see what he can see with some strange aliens, comes back missing 20 years and a mysterious
Should synthetic life (androids) have equal rights with humanity? Also at what point does an artificially enhanced person cease to be human? These are some of the questions at sake in this wacky and wild science-fiction novel. It includes such things as alien thought-beings, androids, resurrection, time travel, secondary body (and mind) back-up systems, the ability to inhabit the thoughts of others, the ability to power a space ship with pure thought, and more--including mundane space-travel,

I truly enjoyed this book. Interesting science-fiction with a touch of philosophy, moral and religion. It is also an invitation to think about the selfishness of humanity and its obsession for supremacy above all the rest of living creatures. The book was published in 1951, and I found quite interesting how different technological aspects treated in the book, most notably those concerning machines and consciousness, are under debate now.
Time And Again is Clifford D. Simak's third novel and the first that truly began to shine the light that would be the trademark of a future Grand Master. This is the novel that Mr. Simak began to distance himself from the minor run-of-the-mill SF writers of his time.It had a bit of everything a fan of SF could want; aliens, space travel, time travel, robots and androids. It never throws this willy-nilly, but each piece has an integral place in this tale that explores man's place in the cosmos.
