The title story chronicles a romance between two beings of the far future — a man and a woman in only the loosest sense of those words — and challenges the reader to confront their own assumptions about normalcy, desire, and what it means to be human. Pohl's prose is sardonic and brilliantly self-aware, directly addressing the reader with a wit that cuts through sentimentality to argue that the truly alien is not found in outer space, but in the trajectory of our own evolution. The collection gathers some of Pohl's most celebrated short fiction, each story illustrating his gift for blending hard science with biting social commentary. Widely regarded as essential reading in the science fiction canon, it remains a testament to Pohl's status as one of the genre's most intellectually daring voices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839385907419,"sku":"2026770001795-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2ea24865-7cbb-4a24-a61e-adda7db6fcf3.png?v=1780561232","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001795-secondhand-day-million","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
