2.0
I am finding as I read more of his works, why I much prefer Kornbluth's collaborations with Pohl than his solo outings. Whilst he has some interesting ideas and a better understanding of character than others, his style and structure do not hold up well for me, and often I was left crawling to the end of these pieces to be disappointed.
