The Wish Machine

No circulation

Sheckley knows how to make us laugh — it is no wonder he is called the master of science fiction humor — and at the same time invites the reader to engage their brains, which, by the way, is one... of the most important tasks of any good literature: to make a person think, to captivate the reader with an idea. This combination of smart and funny, such versatility of Sheckley plus the brilliant execution of everything he undertook — from short stories to novels and large novellas — elevates the science fiction writer Sheckley beyond the artificial boundaries of science fiction, making him a literary cosmopolitan, a writer for every taste. His novels, novellas, and stories have long since become true classics of science fiction regardless of the language in which the global reader reads them.
