The third story in this volume takes place 16,000 years in the future. When you realize that the 33 stories are ordered chronologically, you begin to grasp the scale of Cordwainer Smith's creation. Regimes, technologies, planets, moralities, religions, histories all rise and fall through his millennia.

These are futuristic tales told as myth, as legend, as a history of a distant and decayed past. Written in an unadorned voice reminiscent of James Tiptree Jr., Smith's visions are dark and pessimistic, clearly a contrast from the mood of SF in his time; in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s it was still thought that science would cure the ills of humanity. In Smith's tales, space travel takes a horrendous toll on those who pilot the ships through the void. After reaching perfection, the lack of strife stifles humanity to a point of decay and stagnation; the Instrumentality of Mankind arises in order to stir things up. Many stories describe moral dilemmas involving the humanity of the Underpeople, beings evolved from animals into humanlike forms.

Stories not to be missed in this collection include "Scanners Live in Vain," "The Dead Lady of Clown Town," "Under Old Earth," "The Crime and the Glory of Commander Suzdal," "Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons," and the truly disturbing "A Planet Called Shayol." Serious SF fans should not pass up the chance to experience Cordwainer Smith's complex, distinctive vision of the far future. --Bonnie Bouman

Book Description

Includes 33 stories that represent Cordwainer Smiths entire SF works except for the novel Norstrilia. These stories are "classics" of the field such as "The Dead Lady of Clown Town," "The Game of Rat and Dragon," "Scanners Live in Vain," and "A Planet Named Shayol." Appearing for the first time in print are "Himself in Anachron" and the completely rewritten adult version of his high school story "War No. 81-Q." Introduction by John J. Pierce.

The Glory That Was Cordwainer.......2007-06-21

Cordwainer Smith was unique. Although the contents of this volume represent more than half of his entire science-fictional output, what he lacked in quantity he made up for in superb and very different quality. His prose is colored by some very non-standard phrasing and imagery, at least some of which came from his close connections with Chinese culture (his god-father was Sun Yat-sen, and he was a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek). There is a feeling, an ambience to his stories that I have never seen even approximated by any other author. But the themes he tackled in his stories are ones that everyone can relate to, covering prejudice, greed, lust for power, crime and appropriate punishment, and the seeming boundless desire to go where no man has gone before.

Perhaps the main highlight of this collection is "The Dead Lady of Clown Town", which is a very forceful retelling of the Joan of Arc story. I ended up in tears at the end of this one when I first read it, and subsequent re-reads haven't lessened its impact. I've had this one in my top ten `best of sf' short fiction list since my first encounter with it.

"A Planet Named Shayol" will make you do some heavy thinking about just what can or should be done to punish a society's law (or custom) breakers, or if punishment is ever even really justifiable at all, and will give you a nightmare vision of just what hell on Earth (or any other planet) just might be like.

"The Ballad of Lost C'Mell" may be the centerpiece of his entire envisioned future history, as the Instrumentality of Mankind, which for centuries has managed the human population to avoid disease, war, or hard labor (for which tasks the Underpeople were created), is driven to the conclusion that a viable civilization must have some dark elements, as championed by Lord Jestocost and girly-girl Cat-person C'Mell.

Almost all of the stories here are part of Smith's envisioned universe governed by the Instrumentality, a vision that stretches from near-Earth future to a very distant far-future galaxy where humanity has spread almost everywhere. Smith clearly has some overriding messages: his fear of all-powerful ruling bodies, his attachment to all forms of life and the respect that each individual should have, and a basic belief in the power and utility of religion. All the details of this universe are not filled in, and it is sometimes the tantalizing glimpses of what he does not describe that will capture your imagination, and your wish that there were more stories about this unique world. His Underpeople are marvelous creations, showing not only those traits normally associated with the best of humanity, but also characteristics of their underlying animal heritage, whether it be cat, dog, or turtle.

Not every story here is a gem, most especially those not set in his Instrumentality universe or those dealing with the very near future. But they are all very readable, and the overall level of quality here is absurdly high. Read this first. Then take on his only sf novel, Norstrilia. You won't regret it.

This books belongs to the library of every SF fan.

It's a compilation of many very original short stories that in the ends describe a whole strange world.

Some of the stories are so evocative that you will remember them for a long long time.

Give it a try.

Timeless, original, and engaging!.......2006-01-03

When I read the short-story Scanners Live in Vain, I was bowled over. I could scarcely believe it was written over fifty years ago. By creating a future so divorced from our present time and so unique in it's voice and details, Smith had succeeded in writing a story that would retain it's startling freshness. But Smith's "Instrumentality of Mankind" stories have more than just staying power: they are very powerful and intimate reflections on the human condition. I also highly recommend Cordwainer Smith's novel "Norstrilla". Cordwainer Smith inspired Robert Silverberg to write science fiction. -nuff said.

Universe of Incandescent Bliss.......2005-10-29

Serious fans and historians of science fiction must obtain this compendium of all the known short stories by Cordwainer Smith, who deserves far greater fame than he got when he did most of his writing back in the 50s and 60s. At the time, Smith simply sold a few stories to a few SF mags, but it turns out that they were interconnected vignettes from a vast future universe and mythology that Smith was creating in his mind for decades. This vast fictitious universe covers the development of man over tens of thousands of years and across the galaxy, in an expansive style that is reminiscent of Frank Herbert. Meanwhile, Smith's method of creating narratives as if they were told by an old storyteller, even farther in the future, could be compared to J.R.R. Tolkien, who also created his own universe and history of tremendous proportions.

Smith was a storyteller of remarkable literary ability, as he explored scientific advances without getting too technical, and introduced very heavy themes of humanity and morality without lapsing into preachy conclusions. Very few writers in any genre have this kind of ability for kicking off deep speculation and introspection in the reader. Just about all of the many stories here explore the re-emergence of real humanity after many millennia of human dispersal across the universe, with a few glimpses of mirth or action amidst general darkness and melancholy.

A few stories of note include the disturbing "A Planet Named Shayol" in which humans are farmed for body parts on a deceptively tranquil prison planet; "Think Blue, Count Two" which describes what could really happen on a typical SF mothership transporting humans for hundreds of years to a new space colony; "When the People Fell" which very creepily explores how regular people will be used for space colonization; or "The Crime and the Glory of Commander Suzdal" in which Smith twists time travel and even history in remarkable humanistic ways. Of special note to SF historians is "War No. 81-Q" which lampoons the fallacy of war for profit and entertainment, a form of satire that's unbelievable for a story first written way back in the 1920s (and Smith was in high school at the time to boot). Those are just a few of the tremendous stories in this collection by an author who richly deserves to be treated as a grand master in his field. The sheer breadth and depth of Smith's literary universe is simply astonishing. [~doomsdayer520~]

I thought that it was a Dune parody..........2007-06-16

When I read this novel I thought that it was a parody of Frank Herbert's DUNE. Then I checked the dates of publication- this was released a year before DUNE was first published. Did Herbert consciously, or unconsciously, draw on the ideas in this book for DUNE?

First of all you have an immortality drug being harvested from a disease that only grows on giant sheep (as opposed to an immortality drug being derived from giant worms.)

Secondly, you have a race of supermen that evolved from a harsh life on a desert planet (in this case they were originally Australians and not Arabs.)

Thirdly, there is a coming of age ritual where failure means death (except in this book you "giggle" yourself to death.)

Fourthly, telepathic powers figure prominently in the plot.

Fifthly, shawdowy galactic brotherhoods mold the evolution of the human race for its own good (as defined by them.)

Sixthly, mechanical computers are outlawed on Norstrilia.

Seventhly, the Norstrilians keep nuclear grenades in their homesteads (which sound much like the "family atomics" in Dune.)

Eigthly, the main character is regarded as a "messiah" type.

Either someone is copying someone here, or we have one of the greatest examples of synchronicity in the history of literature...

May the Great Sheep sit on you . . ........2006-02-10

Dr. Paul Linebarger was the son of American diplomats in China (his godfather was President Sun Yat-sen), advisor to Chiang Kai-shek, intelligence analysis in World War II and Korea (he sat out Vietnam), and a linguist and published poet. On top of all that, he wrote science fiction of very high quality under the name "Cordwainer Smith." All his stories are set some 15,000 years hence, in a perfectly managed world of perfect, long-lived people and their "underpeople" servants. And it's all become stale, bland, boring, and decadent. So the Lords of the Instrumentality establish the Rediscovery of Man, allowing disease, accident, anger, and multiple languages and cultures back into the world, just to make things interesting. In this, his only novel, the author brings together all those themes and characters -- Lord Jestocost, C'mell, D'joan, Alpha Ralpha Boulevard, and all the others -- and orbits them around Rod McBan CLI, an enormously wealthy hayseed from the planet of Old North Australia, home of stroon (the drug responsible for near-infinite life), and his leveraged purchase of nearly the whole of Old Earth. Will he find his heart's desire? Originally published as two separate, hacked-up short novels, the whole story is brought back together here. What made Linebarger's work so much above average is that he wasn't so much a story-teller as a myth-maker, creating amazing yarns about larger-than-life characters, telling the history of our maybe-future.

Puzzling.......2006-01-06

I just finished "Norstrilia" a couple days ago. Offhand, I can't recall ever being so baffled by how any book became a widely acknowledged masterpiece of science fiction. The claims advanced for Norstrilia appear to be:

1. Smith has great imagination.
2. His universe is extremely thorough and believable.
3. His writing is lyrical and touching.

To which I respond: yes, no, and sort of.

For starters, "Norstrilia" leans towards being comic science fiction. Actual moments of humor exist, but they are rare. Perhaps light-hearted science fiction would be a better term. On the imagination side, there are a lot of original ideas in this book, though not really more than what you expect from most good SF novels. The problem is in organization and unity: there is none. Smith doesn't really build up to anything here. Each original idea, after being introduced, is either forgotten or used as a punchline. For instance, we get a one page introduction to a planet ruled by a council of thieves. They then appear only one more time in the book, revealing that the thieves don't manage to steal anything but make tons of money anyway. Ha ha, and that's the last we see of them.

The story, characters and writing are all basically average, and nothing stands out for high distinction. We might consider the fact that protagonist Rod McBan buys all of planet Earth in the space of one night. You might be hoping for some particularly clever explanation of how he pulled off such a feat, but no such luck. His computer simply issues a lot of buy and sell commands, and that's that. Then we're off to a fight with a giant murderous sparrow. (Don't ask.) Many books from the 50's and early 60's were lofted to the status of "science fiction classic" merely because their basic competence was an improvement over the genre's pulp origins. "Nostrilia", sad to say, was one of them.

A Fun Read, even though Lacking in "Significance".......2004-10-23

There was a time when science fiction was a very insignificant genre, enjoyed almost exclusively by boys and young men, a situation that changed somewhat when the Space Age began, demonstrating that even the most far-fetched nonsense could become tomorrow's headline. Light adventure and juvenile novels gave way to "serious" science fiction works that actually "meant something". Much of this transition took place during the turbulent 1960's, and it is in this context that we should consider Norstrilia.

Part One was published in '64, and paints a delightfully barbed portrait of the kind of people who live in Northern Australia - the antecedents of the planet of Norstrilia. In a cosmic irony worthy of Vonnegut, Norstrilia is the only planet that can grow "stroon" - the prized longevity drug - making it the richest planet in the galaxy, but it is inhabited by a people who are almost painfully rooted in the past; insular, anti-technology, with strong ties to the land, reverent towards their ancestors as well as the unseen Queen of the Commonwealth, and practicing strict eugenics to preserve the purity of their lineage. This latter almost proves the undoing of the protagonist, Rod McBan the 151st, since he was born with a distinct genetic defect, being unable to communicate via telepathy the way everyone else does.

Part Two was published in '68, and is consequently faster-paced, somewhat racier, and distinctly more class-conscious. Rod travels to Earth, having just purchased it with the aid of Norstilia's only electronic computer, which has learned how to manipulate the interstellar stock market. On Earth, Linebarger (Smith) shows how all real work is done by "under-people" - half-human half-animal creatures who are struggling towards the day they can demand equal rights. Is Rod the savior the under-people have been waiting for? Will he find love with the beautiful cat-woman C'mell? And can Rod find sanctuary from the Honorable Secretary, who is trying to kill him?

There are plenty of fascinating ideas in this book, but none of them are really developed, so they don't have a lot of impact. Rather than focusing on a central theme, the work has a sprawling quality that in some ways diminishes it. Not only are the two parts somewhat disjointed, but the individual parts themselves aren't unified so much as linear: one thing happens and then another without any feeling of cohesiveness. Characters are introduced and then dropped a few pages later with scarcely another reference, even though they didn't actually do anything.

The four-star recommendation is in recognition of the fact that Linebarger's short story collection The Rediscovery of Man adds levels of richness that the immediate text is lacking, and also because despite the book's obvious flaws, it still manages to be a pretty entertaining piece of sci-fi/fantasy. It's a fun read, but it would be better if one has read The Rediscovery of Man first.

The story is even better after reading the short stories.......2004-09-17

This is more of a recommendation about how to read the novel and get more out of it.

By the time I first read Norstralia 20 years ago, I had already read his "Ballad of Lost C'Mell" and met a few of the Lords. So Norstralia was much more meaningful knowing these stories beforehand. It also filled in some of the background to the revolution and gave voice to a few of the hidden players in other stories.

. Cordwainer Smith's WE THE UNDERPEOPLE is set in the future and tells of planoforming ships in which the Underpeople, humanlike beings created from animals to do human work, have no rights --and have become more than workers. When Rod joins forces with the cat woman C'Mell, rebellion is sparked.

Great science fiction from a past master.......2006-11-30

I have been rereading Cordwainer Smith since I first discovered his writing in the 60's. For those who do not know Cordwainer Smith was the pen name of Paul Linebarger who passed away at the age of only 53.

This version brings together both the novel 'Norstrilia', aka 'The Planet Buyer', and short stories featuring the quest for freedom of the Underpeople. We get to look into the struggle for freedom through the stories of D'joan and C'mell. We meet the people of Norstrilia and the boy who bought Earth, Rod McBan the 151st.

Most of the science fiction and fantasy that I read make for good stories with plenty of action and well developed characters. But the fiction of Smith makes you enjoy his writing and think. This is especially true now that we are at the beginnings of gene engineering and cloning. These two things are the basis of his writing, even though these subjects were nothing more than Science Fiction 40 years ago.

I can only hope that a companion volume with the stories about the establishment of the Lords of the Instrumentality will be forthcoming. This is highly recommended for those who have never read any works by Cordwainer Smith and for those who wish to reread his works.

Best introduction to Cordwainer Smith.......2006-11-28

Smith wrote relatively few short stories and only one SF novel, mostly in the 1960's. Even so, he is one of the great SF writers with a style that is unique. His entire work is available in two hardback books, but this edition gives you his novel, Norstrilia, and the associated short stories (a large fraction of his total output). This is the most cost effective way get an introduction to his work, but you may end up wanting his complete short stories too and there is obviously overlap. I think this is better than the stand-alone Norstrilia because it includes the relevant short stories in one edition.

My all time favorite writer.......2005-11-27

As a second generation science fiction fan, I have happily read SF spread over decades. Time and time again I return to my slim volume of Cordwainer Smith stories. They are unlike any other authors, with fascinating characters and haunting story lines. You'll find yourself thinking about these tales long after you've read them.

Wonderful mythological fantasy.......2002-05-13

Cordwainer Smith (whose real name was Paul Linebarger) in his fiction invented a truly marvelous, internally consistent mythological fantasy world, disguised as science-fiction. His world comes across as something very rare--vivid and believable. You actually come to believe in a world where cats pilot spaceships and regret that humans are humans, because if they were cats that cat could fall in love with them. Or ap rison world in which the inhabitants are condemned for centuries to grow body parts--all over their bodies. Even his titles are great--"Alpha Ralpha Boulevard" and "The Ballard of Lost C'Mell." This is great stuff that will stay in your mind for years, and I highly recommend it.

Cordwainer's Worlds: from 6,000 AD to 16,000 AD........1997-06-05

This compilation of tales is a great introduction to the people (both real, and animal derived), politicial systems and worlds of Cordwainer Smith. Lyrical prose and haunting poetry are the hallmarks of this great writer, and the cast of characters while often changing from one short story to another have a historical, if not familial continuity - witness the Vomacts who held their name for over 10,000 years. The only downside to this book is that it is a "Best of" and therefore incomplete - hence the rating of 9/10. But it has a great timeline listing with (I think) all the stories listed so that you can complete the series. Note: Reviewed version was printed 1975, paperback from Ballantine Books, JJ Pierce editor. If you like Science Fiction, Cordwainer is a MUST!

As I have written in a previous review, Cordwainer Smith will remain in the memory of all who read his books for the rest of their lives. His characters and situations, as well as language and style of writing, lend themselves to such strong imaginings, a state of dreaming in some cases, that the possibilities, however far fetched, may be, just maybe could happen. Just maybe could...
