On the fringes of a galaxy waits a machine inhabited by a terrifying being with one mission: to destroy a planet in our solar system . . . A man is condemned to live a routine from which he cannot deviate, all before a live audience who eerily find humor in the strangest of his actions . . . A time traveler is recruited to voyage many thousands of years into the future to rescue mutated beings known as "the Failed Men" by digging them up from their graves . . . These stories and more await readers in Space, Time, and Nathaniel. Originally published in 1957, this collection marked Brian W. Aldiss's entry into science fiction. He would become a pioneer in the genre's British New Wave style with experimental tales such as these, exploring the vastness of outer space and the unknown realms of human nature.
