The anti-Campbellian point was interesting and worth making, but depressing as all get out. I don't care for depressing SF. The main narrative, including the various alien characters, really seemed just a framework to hold the vignettes. Disappointing. Suggested in conjunction with [b:The Creature from Cleveland Depths|7042379|The Creature from Cleveland Depths|Fritz Leiber|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347797698s/7042379.jpg|7270914] I enjoyed it. It was fun. Strange that this may be the first thing that I have read by this prolific author. This novella won a Hugo and a Nebula. Having noted that, the writing is a bit stiff, not always surefooted, in the way that many SF writers can and do get away with-prose that is serviceable but not delicious. I feel like the plot elements are all in place but some are just too I-don't-know-what...plug and play? I guess I feel like all the elements are in place for what could have been, in different hands, the right hands, a sublime story. Also, the author ended the story one line too late for me. That last line fell like a very loud wind instrument blatting on the last note of a symphony. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Resnick’s 1994 novella, Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge, won the Nebula, the Hugo, and a raft of smaller awards. Millennia after galaxy-spanning humanity has gone extinct, a team of alien archaeologists visit Olduvai Gorge to study how such an aggressive race got its start. The small naked apes, they discover, were often self-destructive yet easy to underestimate.
To Mike, I present four old skulls with strangely similar damage. ( )
