Typical 70s drivel: pro-drug, pro-sex, pro-anarchy, anti-establishment, anti-Christian, anti-military. Not science fiction so much as speculative fiction.
It all seemed so new and relevant then; now it seems like cold spit.
If you do read it, skip the introductions to each story. It's mostly Ellison sucking up to his buddies. DO READ the authors' afterwords. Several of them are insightful."
"This book changed the entire direction of science fiction. As you probably know, Ellison wrote to all of his favorite authors, asking them to submit a short story or novella that previously they had not been able to publish (for various reasons . . political as well as erotic) He edited this book and "Again, Dangerous Visions" . The entire speculative fiction genre changed utterly. This is one important and magnificent book."
"No kidding dangerous. This isn't a collection of short-stories for the faint of heart. It literally is dangerous stories. These are stories that no one wanted to publish, whether because of their horrifying, graphic, or theological statements. As such, it is remarkably fascinatiing.
The stories are imaginative to a degree that I've not seen often. The stories are evil. These are stories you hate to love and do anyway. They are naughty and terrible and well-written. It is precisely because they are short that they are so good. If these were novels people would be leaping off cliffs or going nuts.
