04 - Happy Unfortunate by Robert Silverberg

Dive into two early tales by the acclaimed science fiction author Robert Silverberg. The Happy Unfortunate, originally published in Amazing Stories in 1957, delves into the existential angst that arises when humanity ventures into space, only to face the daunting task of creating a new breed of spacers capable of enduring the harsh realities of acceleration. Meanwhile, The Hunted Heroes, published a year earlier in 1956, offers a hopeful glimpse into a future where the resilience of the human spirit shines through the devastation left in the wake of war.
