In ?Gray Flannel Armor,? a man named Hanley finds perfection in a rigidly regular structure of social interaction?including for romance?and devises a system that the whole of humanity adopts. The eleven other stories in this collection are ?Gray Flannel Armor,? ?The Leech,? ?Watchbird,? ?A Wind Is Rising,? ?Morning After,? ?The Native Problem,? ?Feeding Time,? ?Paradise II,? ?Double Indemnity,? ?Holdout,? ?Dawn Invader,? and ?The Language of Love.? From the very beginning of his career, Robert Sheckley was recognized by fans, reviewers, and fellow authors as a master storyteller and the wittiest satirist working in the science fiction field. Open Road is proud to republish his acclaimed body of work, with nearly thirty volumes of full-length fiction and short story collections. Rediscover, or discover for the first time, a master of science fiction who, according to the New York Times, was ?a precursor to Douglas Adams.?
