Thought-provoking essays about science fiction and fantasy by Algis Budrys, award-winning author and critic. His long runs of legendary SF book review columns for Galaxy and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction have been collected in four critically acclaimed "Benchmarks" volumes. Now at last here are virtually all his standalone essays on the genre, including "Paradise Charted" -- a huge, ambitious and witty history of SF -- the series of seventeen "On Writing" articles from Locus magazine, and the eye-opening "Non-Literary Influences on Science Fiction" (after which the pulp classics will never seem the same again) -- plus personal memoirs, book reviews and much more. Most of this material has never before been collected. More than 210,000 words, including 97 footnotes!

Won’t cut
Color: Green
I have bought two of these The first wouldn’t cut so it was returned and replaced with another one that also would not cut. Wouldn’t recommend buying these at all.

I really like it
Color: Green, Color: Green
This thing is pretty cool. It's small, rechargeable, and it works in a weird way but very well. When I first tried it I thought it was broken and I ran it around a few times and it never cut the can where you see them cut with a normal can opener. I then realized that the whole top of the can lifts off! I've never seen that before. I actually really like it. So far I've only charged it once, but I don't use cans on a consistent basis so the charge will probably last forever. I just have to remember to plug it in occasionally so it's not dead one day when I really need it! The only reason it didn't get five stars is because the button is a little bit sensitive. If you're not careful sticking it in the drawer that button can press itself easy and then it will just run continuously.

Stopped cutting cans after 31 days
Color: Green
This quit working exactly 31 days after delivery. Since the day of delivery counted as day 1, I am out of luck on my purchase.
