The Moment of Eclipse

This is the first Brian Aldiss work that I've read. It won the BSFA award in 1971. It's a collection of fourteen short stories he wrote between 1967 to 1970. It includes 'Super-Toys Last All Summer Long' which was the inspiration for the movie 'A.I.'

I didn't know much about Aldiss or his writing, but I'd heard his name before. Coincidentally, just before I began reading this book I saw him in a Phillip K. Dick documentary I watched on youtube. He came across very well and spoke highly of PKD.

Here is a list of all fourteen stories included:

The Moment of Eclipse
The Day We Embarked for Cythera...
Orgy of the Living and the Dying
Super-Toys Last All Summer Long
The Village Swindler
Down the Up Escalation
That Uncomfortable Pause Between Life and Art...
Confluence
Heresies of the Huge God
The Circulation of the Blood...
...And the Stagnation of the Heart
The Worm That Flies
Working in the Spaceship Yards
Swastika!
