Summary: Sci-fi classic
Comment: Wonderfully weird and poetic little novel -- I read it when I was thirteen and never forgot it. Skewed more towards the satirical than hard science, it's a classic dystopian story in the style of George Lucas's THX 1138. I have to agree with the other reviewer who lamented T.J. Bass's disappointingly limited output. I've always wondered what happened to the author after he published his two sci-fi classics.

Summary: Half past human
Comment: Half-past human is a wild futuristic novel about overpopulation and its impact on the human race. It brings us to a time when technology has advanced to a bio-techno-automated society ran by the dictates of an artificial-intelligence led council. Reproduction is controlled by the council. Man lives in hives,while all available land is cultivated by vast agro auto-
matons into vast vegtable gardens. It is into these forbidden gardens that genetic throwbacks with the original non hybredized blood strain, venture to live freely,tribally and with Nature in a way the hive people are physically unable to. They are hunted by the hive and find a way to escape the society that desires their destruction. The book explore different facets of life,inside and outside of the hive. I have read this book over and over and I never cease to be thrilled by this awe-raising pshyche-eco futuristic scifi thriller.

Summary: Thomas Bassler's first novel
Comment: Half Past Human and The Godwhale are the sum total of Thomas J. Bassler's SF output, but even after 20 years, they remain two brilliant points of light, pointing to what should have been a long and brilliant career. I would love to see him come back and take up fiction again- these books rival Cordwainer Smith and Jack Vance in the richness of the world they create. If you read this book years ago, pick it up and read it again. The Nebbishes and their flavored calories are images that will stay with you for a lifetime.
