The Trouble with You Earth People
by Katherine MacleanThe Trouble with You Earth People is a 230 page collection of twelve short stories written by the Nebula Award winning author Katherine MacLean and first published in leading science fiction magazines between 1954 and 1974. Starblaze's front page reads as follows: Katherine MacLean has been in the vanguard of those SF writers trying to apply to the soft (psychological) sciences the machinery of the hard (technological sciences) ... KM was one of the earlier women writers, but... in a notoriously chauvinist field she competed on equal terms, not restricting herself to "feminine" themes or protagonists. The admiration accorded her work has nothing to do with tokenism." The Science Fiction Encyclopedia. "This century is increasingly exciting, dangerous, and involved in threats to the entire planet, like a very wild early science fiction plot. Perhaps I should write realistic contemporary novels to try to deal with it, but the respectable literary realism usually deals totally with characters, rather than the big background picture. To me science fiction makes alternative histories the hero of the story and the great events are characterized. I've always liked it that way." Katherine MacLean in Contemporary Science Fiction Authors.
