Robert Sheckley was one of the most interesting science fiction authors of the 50’s and 60’s. While he wrote in the same language of aliens and spaceships as many of his contemporaries, he used his works as a mirror in which he showed us a reflection of society with all its flaws and foibles. Best known for his novels such a The 10th Victim, Immortality, Inc., and The Status Civilization, he also was a fine writer of short stories.
