Because of his intellectual audacity, the chillingly distanced mannerism of his narrative art, the austerity of the pleasures he affords, and the fine cruelty of his wit, Disch was perhaps the most respected, least trusted, most envied and least read of all modern sf writers of the first rank (SFE).
Inscribed to New York editor and collector David G. Hartwell:
“For David H— A technological jeu d’esprit in a direct line of dissent from the novels of Heinlein, Asimoc & Clarke, Tom Disch”.
