About the book: 2007 / Writer, included in the top twenty best Anglo-American science fiction authors of the 20th century. The main advantage of Laumer's fantastic prose is his inability to write sadly. Everything about him is filled with humor, even when the writer talks about serious things. About, for example, how to redirect the global flow of entropy into the past and thereby return atrophied human feelings to the product of the machine civilization of the distant future of the Earth. Or how to manage to defeat the insidious hag, a super robot from the fourth era, who plans to become the ruler of the world, between lunch and dinner. Or... Stop! You won't be fed up with retellings. Urgently open the book of this wonderful writer, and you will enjoy no less than reading Robert Sheckley, multiplied by Henry Kuttner and seasoned with a good portion of the strongest Vonnegut.
