The Man Who Fell to Earth-Science Fiction Classics Book Description “A master of archetypes. “He is an artist who can capture the spirit of the time without compromising himself.” –Jonathan Lethem “The character in The Man Who Fell to Earth will stay with me for the rest of my life.” –David Bowie “One of the best science fiction books ever written.” –James Sallis “The most realistic work ever written about an alien on Earth.” –Norman Spinrad “If You Are From Mars, You Really Must Be Alone.” Walter Tevis grasped the essence of science fiction very well and is one of the most rebellious and docile writers of his age. The Man Who Fell to Earth, a film adaptation directed by Nicolas Roeg in 1976 and starring David Bowie as Newton, is one of the cult works of science fiction cinema and is the author's most famous and most intellectual work. Thomas Jerome Newton is a humanoid alien who came to Earth in a rickety spacecraft from the planet Anthea, where its people are much smarter than Earthlings. Newton's goal, whose planet has become uninhabitable due to nuclear war, is to return home with the spaceship he will build on Earth and transport the people there to his new planet. Chemistry professor Nathan Bryce, who already suspects that Newton, who made a fortune and set to work thanks to the high technology he brought from Anthea, is an alien, begins to become even more intrigued by the new products launched by Newton's company. However, the biggest threat to Newton's purpose, as he gradually resembles the creatures of that place throughout the years he spent on Earth, is neither Bryce nor the FBI who are after him. This extraordinary alien has only one enemy: becoming human. The Island That Fell to Earth is a look at the human within the non-human. With afterword by Ken MacLeod (From the Promotional Bulletin)
