“This is a choice collection of haunting tales collected by the founder of the Science Fiction Writers of America. Most of the stories typify the emerging new domain of science fiction, with its emphasis less on the ‘out-there’ than on the ‘right-here, right-now.’ Harlan Ellison, for example, in ‘Shattered Like a Glass Goblin,’ paints a picture of a houseful of hippies in the thrall of drugs and bestiality that is much too believable for comfort. In ‘Probable Cause,’ Charles Harness cites the use of clairvoyance in a case before the Supreme Court; and Kate Wilhelm portrays the agonizing problems of a computer analyst working on a robot weapon which requires the minds of dead geniuses to operate effectively. These are only a few of the many celebrated science fiction writers whose stories are included in the anthology, ‘Orbit 4.’ ”
