Add to basketAVON V2403; May 1971; 1st Printing; 240 Pages; ** Goodreads; Moderan is one of the most startlingly original, provocative & fascinating future worlds in all of science fiction. In Moderan, men are made mostly of metal. They retain strips of flesh to contain their humanity. They live in Strongholds. They prowl the war rooms of their Strongholds and plan wars. Quite a world, Moderan. Come visit. The war is about to begin.; ** A.I.; "Moderan" is a unique and influential work within the science fiction genre, known for its satirical and dystopian exploration of a future Earth. The narrative is set in a world where the environment has been devastated by war and human beings have transformed themselves into machine-men in a quest for immortality and power. Bunch's work is characterized by its dark humor and incisive commentary on humanity's obsession with violence and control. Despite its critical acclaim, "Moderan" remained relatively obscure, with Bunch being celebrated as a writer's writer, respected by his peers but less known to the wider audience. His storytelling is often compared to the likes of Cordwainer Smith and R. A. Lafferty for its whimsical and paradoxical style, blending the rhapsodic with the grotesque. Bunch's ability to evoke the strangeness of future worlds through poetic devices and alliteration is particularly noteworthy. The stories of "Moderan" form a cohesive satire that reflects Bunch's views on the human condition, making it a compelling read for those interested in speculative fiction that challenges societal norms and behaviors.
