In an afterword to this novel, written a quarter of a century after its publication, and in a yet later afterword for this RosettaBooks edition, Robert Silverberg writes that Stepsons of Terra was his attempt to write a complex, shifting, even dazzling novel in the style of the heavily influential Philip K. Dick. Dick's ingenious plot and use of time paradoxes in his first novel, Solar Lottery (published in l954) had intrigued Silverberg, who was at the time 19 years old.

The Science Fiction Hall of Fame [MultiFormat]
by Robert Silverberg
|

This is the story of a man obsessed by science fiction. He's read it voraciously since childhood, and collects books and magazines. He calls himself the "flesh-and-blood personification of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame." His friends think he's a nut, of course, to go for that aliens-spaceships-blasters sort of stuff. One can easily read this as a criticism of the kind of juvenile SF Silverberg himself had written in the 50s. (Published: 1973)
