Description
As the editor of London's revolutionary New Worlds magazine in the swinging sixties, Michael Moorcock has been credited with virtually inventing modern science fiction, publishing authors including Norman Spinrad, Samuel R. Delaney, Brian Aldiss and J.G. Ballard.
Now, Moorcock's most audacious creation, Jerry Cornelius - assassin, rock star, chronospy and maybe-Messiah - is back in Modem Times 2.0, a time-twisting odyssey that connects 1960s London with Obama's America, making stops in Palm Springs and Guantanamo.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Moorcock's writing is praised for its high quality, and he is regarded as a major novelist with significant ambition. His style is likened to the grand storytelling of Dickens and Tolstoy, highlighting his place among great literary figures.
