Synopsis
A. E. vanVogt fick idén till boken SLAN, när han en dag såg en hjälplös grizzlybjörnunge, som förlorat sin mamma. Boken handlar egentligen om hur människor som har ovanliga förmågor lätt blir hatade av sina medmänniskor. Ju mer likriktade medborgarna är i ett samhälle, desto starkare blir tendensen att stöta bort de som är annorlunda.
Det är viktigt att vanliga människor får lära sig att inte vara rädda för det som är annorlunda. Om det går att ersätta rädslan med nyfikenhet öppnar sig nya möjligheter för alla.
"EN VIS" av Eddot är en kort novell om en människas övergång till ett annat medvetandetillstånd när kroppen dör och sedan återföds i en ny kropp.

Review
"Over fifty years on from when it first saw print, van Vogt's "Slan" is still one of the quintessential classics of the field that other SF novels will inevitably be measured against." --Charles de Lint"Van Vogt was creating the mythology of science, writing stories of science as magic or magic as science." --James Gunn"Along with Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein--and to a lesser extent L. Sprague de Camp and L. Ron Hubbard--he seemed nearly to create, by writing what Campbell wanted to publish, the first genuinely successful period of U.S. SF; only in this 'Golden Age' did it begin to achieve [success], in literary terms...." --"The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction"
