<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>Cool! Look what I just received \u2014 advance copies of Pyr<\/a>\u2018s spiffy new edition of Robert Silverberg\u2019s classic SON OF MAN<\/a>! Wraparound cover illustration by me (see the full image here<\/a>). Here\u2019s the summary copy on the book\u2019s back cover: \u201cClay is a man from the twentieth century who is somehow caught up in a time-flux and transported into a distant future. The Earth and the life on it have changed beyond recognition. Even the human race has evolved into many different forms now coexisting on the planet. The seemingly omnipotent Skimmers, the tyrannosaur-like Eaters, the sedentary Awaiters, the squid-like Breathers, the Interceders, the Destroyers \u2014 all are \u201cSons of Man.\u201d Befriended and besexed by the Skimmers, Clay goes on a journey that takes him around the future Earth and into the depths of his own soul. He is human, but what does that mean?\u201d If you like your science fiction trippy, transcendent, and mind-bending, you\u2019re gonna like this one. Get yours starting this coming Tuesday from booksellers everywhere. \ud83d\ude42\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
