Today, as the new worlds, alternate universes, and synthetic pleasures Sheckley foretold become our reality, his vision begins to look less absurdist and more prophetic. This retrospective selection, chosen by Jonathan Lethem and Alex Abramovich, brings together the best of Sheckleys deadpan farces, proving once again that he belongs beside such mordant critics of contemporary mores as Bruce Jay Friedman, Terry Southern, and Thomas Pynchon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971057942816,"sku":"NEW1590174941","price":22.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/819-pcV0oKL.jpg?v=1783759373","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/store-of-the-worlds-the-stories-of-robert-sheckley-new-york-review-books-classics-1590174941","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
