Kuttner at his finestBy Charlie AukermanThis book contains the classic "Mimsy were the Borogoves" from which the movie "The Last Mimsy" was adapted. It was adapted badly, as usual, since printed science fiction seldom translates well to the visual mediums of television and movies. "Mimsy" is one of the greatest stories Henry Kuttner ever wrote, and should be reread with every new generation. I've even used it as a basis for a lecture on how Kuttner's vision of educational toys from the future changing the thinking of two children came true less than 40 years after he wrote his story -- not millions of years as he predicted. The other stories in this volume range from light-hearted to serious and are all good reading.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This book predicted the futureBy AveryWe were promised an Asimov sci-fi future, but for some reason we seem to be living in Henry Kuttner's future instead. And it's slightly darker, but a hell of a lot funnier.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I love this book so muchBy cristobalI love this book so much. I have a couple of copies, including a first edition. I kept waiting for it to hit Kindle. I find the plot of the book predictable, simply because I've read the darned thing a hundred times. For me the mood is Nostalgic because this is a book of my early teen years and so it makes me feel nostalgic.If you like old school sci fi, filled with humor and pathos and brilliance, get this book. If only for The Proud Robot and Nothing But Gingerbread Left, it's totally worth the price. "[A] pomegranate writer: popping with seeds—full of ideas." —Ray BradburyFrom the renowned, Hugo-nominated titan of science fiction comes a collection of his best short stories.In seventeen classic stories, Henry Kuttner creates a unique galaxy of vain, protective, and murderous robots; devilish angels; and warm and angry aliens. These stories include “Mimsy Were the Borogoves”—the inspiration for New Line Cinema’s major motion picture The Last Mimzy—as well as "Two-Handed Engine", "The Proud Robot", "The Misguided Halo", "The Voice of the Lobster", "Exit the Professor", "The Twonky", "A Gnome There Was", "The Big Night", "Nothing But Gingerbread Left", "The Iron Standard", "Cold War", "Or Else", "Endowment Policy", "Housing Problem", "What You Need", and "Absalom".
