About the book: 2019 / William Tenn is the pseudonym of the American writer and scientist Philip Claes (1920–2010). Vampires, ghosts and witches. Aliens and earthlings getting into incredible troubles. Models of the near future of humanity, painted in all the colors of the rainbow - from ironic-cosmic to darkly sarcastic. Issues of architecture and philosophy, biology and parapsychology, feminism and masculinity, strange beliefs, raising children, shame and pride, porn and politics, racial problems... It seems there is no topic that William Tenn would ignore! W. Tenn entered science fiction in 1946 and soon became one of the few truly funny humorists in SF, more serious than Frederick Brown and less narcissistic than Robert Sheckley.
