In the Wake of Man (1975) A Science Fiction Triad by Roger Elwood (ed. Jim3692)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 358 KB
Overview: It can be said of Man that wherever he goes, he brings trouble with him. And after he leaves, his place of visitation is never the same again.
Is Man capable of influencing a specific environment for the better, or is he doomed to ruining whatever he touches, as has been true from Eden onward? Will he continue to do the same as he journeys outward to the stars?
The three stories in this triad explore the theme of Man and what he leaves in his wake. Each is entirely different from the others. Walter
Moudy, Lafferty, and Wolfe—three guides who have been there and back— have envisioned what remains IN THE WAKE OF MAN, and they are ready to take you with them on a return voyage. Perhaps you will never look at the human species in the same way again.

From the Thunder Colt's Mouth • [Argos Mythos] • novella by R. A. Lafferty
R. A. Lafferty’s From the Thunder Colt’s Mouth is a delightful tale, once again not in the least bit stylistically related to the others, but grafted to them by their common theme. People and animals are mostly papier-mache’ or Styrofoam. History is remembered through a valuable tome entitled The History of Cook County in the Early Days/ plus a memo to the effect that the Black Sea has disappeared because it never was.
Tracking Song • novella by Gene Wolfe
Gene Wolfe’s Tracking Song is the most - sentimental of the three short novels in the book. Wolfe depicts a grim yet beautiful silent world of snow, where life is lived on enormous sleighs. Warm and evocative, it is a dazzling work by one of the most important authors in science fiction.
The Search for Man • novella by Walter F. Moudy
Moudy’s The Search for Man can be called a traditional kind of science fiction short novel, traditional but engrossing. His anti-hero conducts a search for the Anti-Man in a compassionate parable.
