Williamson, Jack: Lifeburst. 24818
Del Rey: NY. 1984.
First edition (& 1st printing).
''in the 1980s he began to produce work of an astonishing youthfulness. LIFEBURST (1984) is an exercise in interstellar Realpolitik, grim and engrossing in its depiction of the parcelling out of Earth, sophisticated in its presentation of sexual material; its sequel, Mazeway (1990), has the air of a juvenile in its vivid presentation of the eponymous galactic test that the young protagonists must pass to render humanity eligible for higher things. In 1976 he was given the second Grand Master Nebula award (his sole predecessor was Robert A. Heinlein). He has been an sf writer of substance for over 60 years. In his work and in his life he has encompassed the field'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Holt, Rinehart and Winston: NY. 1980.
First trade edition.
Hardcover.
Sequel to The Humanoids (1949). Preceded by a signed limited edition from Phantasia Press. See Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 3-194.
''also in the 1940s came his most famous sequence, the Humanoids series: ''With Folded Hands'' (1947), The Humanoids (1948 ASF as ''. . . And Searching Mind''; revised for book publication in 1949); ''Jamboree'' (1969) and THE HUMANOID TOUCH (1980). Once again at an early point in the genre's history, these confronted the near impossibility of assessing the plusses and minuses of a humanoid (ie. artificial-intelligbence-driven) hegemony over the world, however benevolent. In The Humanoids itself it is suggested that humanity's new masters are contriving to force people to transcend their condition; in THE HUMANOID TOUCH this ambiguity is lost for, at the end of the Galaxy, long hence, the euphoria induced by humanity's keepers is both impossible to perceive and mandatory'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
