The World of Null-A - Softcover
Synopsis
The classic novel of non-Aristotelian logic and the coming race of supermen
Science Fiction Grandmaster A. E. van Vogt was one of the giants of the 1940s, the Golden Age of classic SF. Of his masterpieces, The World of Null-A is his most famous and most influential. Published in 1949 it was the first major trade SF hardcover, and has been in print in various editions ever since.
The entire careers of Philip K. Dick, Keith Laumer, Alfred Bester, Charles Harness, and Philip Jose Farmer were created or influenced by The World of Null-A, and so it is required reading for anyone who wishes to know the canon of SF classics.
It is the year 2650 and Earth has become a world of non-Aristotelianism, or Null-A. This is the story of Gilbert Gosseyn, who lives in that future world where the Games Machine, made up of twenty-five thousand electronic brains, sets the course of people's lives. Gosseyn isn't even sure of his own identity, but realizes he has some remarkable abilities and sets out to use them to discover who has made him a pawn in an interstellar plot.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Every classic SF library needs A.E. van Vogt's "The World of Null-A". And the version you actually want to read is the author's 1970 revision, originally published as a Berkley Medallion paperback, which included a new introduction, new content, and some needed tweaks. Offered here are BOTH a 1st printing of that 1970 Berkley Medallion paperback PLUS the 1990 Ariel Press first trade paper edition of the revised version. The paperback is in very good+ condition. Its binding is tight with slight lean and no crease in the spine. Its covers are unmarked with some light age toning and a few traces of soiling. Its pages are unmarked. The Ariel trade paper is in near fine condition, unread, marred only by a nearly imperceptible smudge on the front cover where a store price sticker was removed. Its binding is tight and square, with no reading creases. Its covers are unmarked, unworn and bright (neither toned nor faded.) Its pages are unmarked and unworn. Not a remainder. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship these books in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure they reach their proud new owner in the same condition as my description. Bibliographic note: the ISBN in this listing is for the Berkley Medallion paperback. The ISBN for the Ariel Press book is 0898041538. Seller Inventory # 000990
