description: As science fact overtakes science fiction, Arthur Clarke vividly dramatizes the next moves - in space and on earth - in twenty-four brilliant short stories. " The Nine Billion Names of God" recounts the staggering result of the purchase of an electronic computer by a Tibetan lama; :Cosmic tells of an overambitious lover far away from home; and "The Songs of Distant Earth" conjures up all the romance and adventure of space travel in the creation of a new interstellar civilization. These and other stories in this collection demonstrate once again that Arthur Clarke has no equal among writers of science fiction in literary skill, technical knowledge, and reach of imagination.
