'Delany's works have become essential to the history of science fiction' New Yorker Samuel
Delany is one of the most radical and influential science fiction writers of our age who
reinvented the genre with his fearless explorations of race class and gender. Driftglass is
the definitive volume of his stories featuring neutered space travellers telepathy Hells
Angels and genetically modified amphibious workers. 'Delany's books interweave science fiction
with histories of race sexuality and control. In so doing he gives readers fiction that
reflects and explores the social truths of our world' The New York Times
