Weigh Up Regarding Books The Wind From the Sun (Science Fiction Stories #37)

This is a nice set of short sci-fi stories from the '60's and early '70's. From quirky to classic, it was a fun re-read. I especially liked 'Neutron Tide' and 'Meeting with Medusa'.

Though I dont really like short stories, this was pretty good. Clark has such a variety of ideas. Stories are all different sizes and many have some very interesting ideas and with such great detail. Wind from the son and meeting with Medusa were very good. Everest one was interesting. Couple were pretty humerous.

Sailing in space, using solar wind.

My first book of 2018 was a collection of short stories written by Clarke in which he tackles the emerging technologies and their importance for humankind. Albeit some may seem outdated, it is impressive to see how sharp Clarke was and how well he described human nature faced with adversities of any kind.

Even as a huge fan of Arthur C. Clarke by way of his Space Odyseey series, I had no idea that he was such a prolific short story writer. Then, thankfully, I stumbled across a treasure trove of his short stories at a local book sale.His short stories are fantastic  up there with Isaac Asimov. In stories like A Meeting with Medusa, Clarke shows off his unrivaled ability to transport you to fantastical, uniquely imaginative worlds.

As I went from one book to the next, Clarke never disappointed me. This is yet another tale of his mastery.

These are some of Clarkes short stories that were not before published in finnish. And mostly you can see why.There are some fun and interesting ideas here but mostly these stories feel very dated. I loved Childhoods End as it was a great story that didn't feel dated at all but this is completely different. It was fun to read these but they were not very memorable.I can't really recommend these but if you want to read everyhting Clarke has written, you should give this a go. Also this includes
