For the Sci Fi Fan “Dying Inside” Robert Silverberg 1st edition thus vintage paperback 1984
$19.00
Very clean, "very good plus" to "near fine", vintage 1984 Bantam paperback by Robert Silverberg.
No writing, marks, no torn, loose, or folded pages. Spine is solid, not creased. Text block edges are clean, bright, and uniform al around. Very minimal edge or surface wear to covers, covers close tight and flat. You don't see paperbacks of this vintage this nice every day! Really gorgeous vintage copy! See accompanying images for full condition details. David Selig has spent forty-one years eavesdropping on the human soul. Born with the lonely gift of telepathy, he has drifted through life as a ghost among the living—plagiarizing term papers by raiding co-eds’ minds, seducing women by anticipating their every desire, and despising the petty, selfish thoughts he cannot help but hear. Now, like hairline and eyesight, his power is receding. Each day the voices dim; each silence is a rehearsal for death. Robert Silverberg’s Nebula- and Hugo-nominated masterpiece is less science fiction than a searing, darkly comic memoir of a man forced to become ordinary. Set against the backdrop of late-1960s New York—Vietnam protests, campus unrest, sexual revolution—Selig’s interior monologue is a dazzling torrent of literary allusion, guilt, and voyeuristic confession. By turns erotic, bitter, and heartbreaking, Dying Inside asks what remains of identity when the very faculty that defined it slips away. Universally hailed as Silverberg’s greatest novel, this is a rare chance to own the book Michael Dirda called “a superb novel about the great shock of middle age—the recognition that we are all dying inside.” Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.

For the Sci Fi Fan “I, Robot” Vintage paperback Isaac Asimov 1970 printing
$14.00
This is a "very good" vintage 1970 Fawcett paperback, short story collection by Isaac Asimov.
Mild edge and surface wear on covers, very minimal signs of reading use. Text block is square, closes tightly. A date stamp on the outer text block edge, reading "Apr 28 1975" - likely from a used book store back in the day. A very subtle crease in the spine, not color breaking. Original cover price on front cover and spine blacked out, otherwise no marks or writing. No loose, torn or folded pages. Very presentable 55 year old vintage paperback! Really nice vintage copy! See accompanying images for full condition details. Enter the groundbreaking world of Isaac Asimov's I, Robot, the seminal 1950 collection that forever changed how we imagine artificial intelligence. Through nine interconnected short stories framed by the reminiscences of Dr. Susan Calvin, the pioneering robopsychologist at U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Asimov introduces his revolutionary Three Laws of Robotics—the ethical framework that would influence science fiction for generations. From "Robbie," the gentle nursemaid robot who forms an unbreakable bond with a young girl, to the chilling implications of "The Evitable Conflict," where super-intelligent Machines quietly manipulate humanity's future, each tale explores the complex moral landscape where human and artificial minds intersect. Meet Speedy, trapped in a logical loop on Mercury; Herbie, the telepathic robot driven to madness by conflicting imperatives; and Stephen Byerley, the politician whose humanity itself becomes the central mystery. Asimov's robots aren't the rampaging monsters of pulp fiction—they're thoughtful, sometimes flawed beings whose dilemmas mirror our own deepest questions about consciousness, free will, and what it truly means to be human. This vintage collection remains startlingly relevant as we stand on the threshold of real artificial intelligence, making it essential reading for anyone fascinated by the ethical challenges of our technological future.
