"We all must try to understand how the interactions of large groups of people can lead to results nobody wanted.To avoid future wars, six billion – and soon it will be seven and eight billion – people will have to agree on new economies and social structures. Only when they know something about one another and act with each other in mind, can people avoid increasing the harm to all by seeking only their own advantage. No longer can the goal be to constantly raise productivity – to produce ever more goods with ever less work; the exchange of things should not be the main content of interpersonal affairs.

Instead it should lead to people being able to use the freed-up time to exchange social services with each other: art, entertainment, care giving, healing, education, research, sports, philosophy …" Views: 253
"Readers bored with Tolkien-clone fantasies will be enthralled by the intricately detailed world and characters Anderson brings to life here." —Publishers Weekly, starred review The Grand Master of Science Fiction delivers "a Dark Age saga based on Old Scandinavian mythology and the exploits of the legendary Danish King Hadding . . .
