Mack Reynolds

    11 novembre 1917 – 30 janvier 1983

    Dallas McCord Reynolds, connu sous le nom de Mack Reynolds, était un auteur américain de science-fiction dont les œuvres exploraient souvent des thèmes économiques et des utopies sociales. Ses histoires, profondément influencées par ses convictions politiques socialistes, dépeignaient fréquemment des sociétés où l'espéranto servait de langue seconde universelle et anticipaient des technologies telles que les ordinateurs de poche et les réseaux d'information mondiaux. Le style de Reynolds capturait de manière unique la nature en constante évolution de la société, se penchant souvent sur les implications d'un mode de vie très mobile, telles que les lois sur le vote mobile permettant aux citoyens d'exprimer leur vote où et quand ils le souhaitaient.

      For some forty years critics of the U.S.S.R. have been desiring, predicting, not to mention praying for, its collapse, says Mack Reynolds in this story's preface. For twenty of these years the author of this story has vaguely wondered what would replace the collapsed Soviet system. A return to Czarism? Oh, come now Capitalism as we know it today in the advanced Western countries? Oh, if he'd only seen , we find ourselves thinking. Still, Reynolds has seen something, and he has a lot to say about it. See for yourself

      THE GALACTIC MEDAL OF HONOR was the most important, the most coveted award of all time. It was given only to a handful of the bravest and most self-sacraficing of those defending earth from the mysterious alien invaders that had appeared fifty years before. It was almost always given posthumously. The Bearer of this medal became the idol of all mankind, would never want for any necessity or luxury -- would never want for anything. Everyone on Earth sought that medal....One man was going to cheat to win it -- and live to regret it. (Above text appears on the back cover)
