The ruins of earth; an anthology of stories of the immediate future by Thomas M. Disch

A good collection of then-popular writers on the theme of near future Apocalypse. Kurt Vonnegut, Philip Dick, Harry Harrison, R.A. Lafferty and Fritz Lieber made contributions, and the Editor was Thomas M. Disch. It is a high quality anthology.

The Cinema of Stanley Kubrick by Norman Kagan

A very detailed analysis of Kubrick's films. It certainly increased my appreciation for this master.

The Ruins of earth by Thomas M. Disch

Another mixed anthology. This is themed about ecological catastrophe. Please, if any of you can help me by telling me the kind of review you think is appropriate for anthologies, comment here or contact me or join my group, More than Just a Rating. I'd love to say something more helpful!
