An unending chain of surveillance crosses countless dimensions in this brilliant, disturbing, and groundbreaking "antinovel" by one of science fiction's greatest practitioners Mr. Mary and his wife are being observed from at least three vantage points as they go about their mundane home lives. G, the former gardener, watches them from a garden shed. Mr. Mary's dismissed secretary, S, watches them from the top room of a brick outhouse in the back. The chauffeur, C, who no longer drives, watches the Marys from the garage. Each observer must file a report with his superiors in another continuum, pausing in his surveillance only long enough to eat identical meals alone at the deserted café across the street. But the watchers are themselves being observed by others who are, in turn, being watched across vast and infinite dimensional planes in an attempt to unravel the mysteries of the world known as Probability A. This brilliant, experimental work by Grand Master Brian W. Aldiss is a perplexing and devastatingly haunting masterwork of speculative fiction, considered by many to be the greatest work in the long, prolific career of a true giant of the genre. Thought-provoking, confounding, and stylistically brilliant, Report on Probability A will burn its way into the reader's mind and memory.… (altro)
Uno dei romanzi piu' "sperimentali" e "new wave" del maestro inglese, arrivato alla notorietà letteraria con opere quali “Dal Buio degli Anni Luce”(1964), Viaggio Senza Fine(1958), Galassie Come Granelli di Sabbia(1959), Il Lungo Meriggio Della Terra (1962) e il bellissimo “Il mio Mondo Bruciato”(1965)e anche in particolare “Cittadino del Tramonto”(1964), una splendida storia della lenta fine dì un mondo reso sterile dalle radiazioni. Pur simpatizzando con il new wave, Aldiss rimase in una posizione distaccata, curando soprattutto i collegamenti tra fantascienza e letteratura normale, e tentando sempre nuove e audaci tecniche di scrittura; la svolta avvenne nel 1968, quando scrisse questo celebre “Report on Probability A”, uno studio quasi voyeuristico sui mondi della probabilità con una narrazione divisa in molteplici punti di vista, che si sovrappongono in modo provocatorio.
