Acerca de este libro electrónico
Green Millennium is about a man, Phil, (and Arthur Dent type but without all the charm, i.e. audience surrogate almost no personality) who has a brief encounter with a magical green cat. Lucky (the cat) makes everyone around him feel connected and loved. In this world of conservative politics (I was going to type hyper-conservative politics, but then I realized that the religious-right fictional president and his Bureau of Loyalty isn't that far off from what our current Republican candidate for president would like) contrasted against hyper-sexualized consumerism there are a lot of interesting characters and circumstances, so the story is mostly Phil being pulled through the story on a quest to reclaim the feeling of wellbeing and confidence that he had while around Lucky. (Goodreads)

Acerca del autor
Fritz Leiber (1910-1992) was a towering figure in speculative fiction, whose work spanned the realms of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Born in Chicago, Leiber was the son of Shakespearean actors, which imbued him with a deep appreciation for drama and storytelling from an early age. He initially pursued a career in acting and theology before turning to writing, a decision that would leave an indelible mark on the literary world.Leiber's most enduring creation is the sword-and-sorcery duo Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, characters who redefined the fantasy genre with their blend of swashbuckling adventure and psychological depth. His stories often explored themes of existential dread, urban alienation, and the supernatural, making him a pioneer in blending horror with science fiction.Controversially, Leiber's work sometimes delved into the darker aspects of human nature, challenging the moral binaries often found in genre fiction. His novel "The Big Time" won the Hugo Award and is celebrated for its innovative take on time travel and war.Leiber's influence extends to contemporary writers like Neil Gaiman and George R.R. Martin, who have cited his work as a significant inspiration. He was also a key figure in the development of the "New Wave" science fiction movement, which sought to elevate the genre through literary experimentation and social commentary.A master of atmosphere and a keen observer of the human condition, Fritz Leiber remains a seminal figure whose revolutionary ideas continue to resonate with readers and writers alike. His legacy is a testament to the power of speculative fiction to explore the complexities of existence.
