Sull'Autore

Gregory Benford, was born on January 30, 1941 in Mobile, Alabama. He is a physicist and science fiction writer who earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego, in 1967. He is a Woodrow Wilson Fellow and a consultant for NASA. Benford's first novel "Deeper than the Darkness" mostra altro (1970), which was revised as "The Stars in Shroud" (1978), gave him notice as a serious Science Fiction writer. His most popular work is "Timescape" (1980), which was the winner of the Nebula and John W. Campbell Memorial Awards; it presented a hard physics approach to limited time travel. "In the Ocean of Night" (1977), "Across the Sea of Suns" (1984), "Great Sky River" (1987), "Tides of Light" (1989) and "Furious Gulf" (1994) were all a part of the Galactic Cluster Series. He has also written the juvenile novel "Jupiter Project" (1975), "Against Infinity" (1983) and the thriller "Artifact" (1985). He has been nominated for 12 Nebula Awards (winning for "Timescape" and for the novelette, "If the Stars are Gods"). Benford, writing alternately with Bruce Sterling, produces science fact articles for the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. They took over after the death of regular columnist Isaac Asimov. He has also co-edited theme anthologies with Martin H. Greenburg, which include "Hitler Victorious" (1986), "Nuclear War" (1988), "What Might Have Been, Volume 1: Alternate Empires" (1988), "Volume 2: Alternate Heroes" (1989) and "Volume 3: Alternate Wars."

Recensioni

Nel cuore della cometa (Heart of the Comet) di Gregory Benford

Romanzo straordinario per idee, trama, struttura, complessità dei temi trattati, personaggi. Una vera epopea fantascientifica di un gruppo di persone che decidono di "colonizzare" la cometa di Halley a fini scientifici: fra ogni tipo di problemi e di sfide (tecnologiche , umane, psicologiche, politiche, scientifiche, etiche, ecc...) la storia si dipana nell'arco di decine e decine di anni (70, ovvero il ciclo della cometa) che vedranno vari ed incredibili sconvolgimenti nella vita dei *coloni*.
Storia affascinante, avvincente, emozionante che però ha il suo maggior punto di forza nelle incredibili idee che gli autori s'inventano (o forse si potrebbe dire *ipotizzano*?) e che interessano quasi ogni aspetto suddetto del contesto umano e scientifico-tecnologico. Un romanzo assolutamente da leggere.… (altro)

Attraverso un Mare di Soli (Across the Sea of Suns,… di Gregory Benford

Seguito diretto de *nell'oceano della notte* ne ricalca in toto lo stile ed il modus essendi. Il focus della storia si sposta dalla terra alla spazio, una gigantesca nave spaziale in missione in altri sistemi solari alla ricerca di spiegazioni per i misteriosi fenomeni accaduti alla Terra.
Queste vicende sono intervallate con il racconto delle avventure di un naufrago nel Pacifico alla prese con i misteriosi e pericolosi pesci alieni comparsi da alcuni anni negli oceani terrestri e parte dei motivi per cui è partita la missione.
Questo romanzo è forse un pochino migliore, più avventuroso, del precedente ma purtroppo anch'esso tristemente infarcito della solita quantità riflessioni, speculazioni, descrizioni di stati d'animo e sentimenti, rapporti interpersonali, digressioni pseudo-religiose, deliranti immaginazioni, ecc... come detto per il precedente.… (altro)

Nell'oceano della Notte (In the Ocean of Night, 1976) di Gregory Benford

Alla base un'idea interessante ed originale purtroppo sviluppata in modo mediocre nel senso che esageratamente infarcita di una quantità enorme di riflessioni, speculazioni, descrizioni di stati d'animo e sentimenti, rapporti interpersonali, digressioni pseudo-religiose, deliranti immaginazioni, ecc... ne deriva una lettura pesante e faticosa che svaluta di molto il valore generale dell'opera.

Maree di Luce (Tides of Light, 1989?) di Gregory Benford

Seguito diretto de *il grande fiume del cielo*, è un romanzo sicuramente molto ricco in termini di costrutto fantastico/scientifico/tecnologico, vicende, avventure, risvolti umani, ecc...
Pur con alcuni capitoli un po' confusi e con alcune divagazioni piuttosto inutili, è una storia avvincente e si legge bene.

Non è riuscita però ad entusiasmarmi, a coinvolgermi davvero... non saprei ben dire perchè... forse un po' per l'atmosfera drammatica e disperata che si respira, un po' per la vena di "misticismo" presente sia per gli umani che per i ciberneti, un po' per la stranezza di certi fenomeni e dinamiche presenti.

L'ho comunque trovato migliore del precedente romanzo.… (altro)
