Harlan Ellison is arguably the finest short story writer in science fiction today, and this collection includes some of his best (certainly his most popular) work. His writings are mature, intense, and deeply affecting. The first two stories are probably the ones he's most famous for --"I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" (a horrifying story about people trapped inside a computer) and "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman" (a parable of society's dependence on the clock). Ellison, an Audie winner for narration, skillfully reads all of the stories himself, providing the boundless energy that makes this collection a complete success.
