| Dangerous Visions | comment |
Harlan Ellison doesn't think small. The fact that the above page-quote—the first paragraph of his original introduction to the book—is, if anything, an understatement, says a helluva lot.In the 1960s, Harlan Ellison had the idea of putting together a science-fiction anthology. But not just any ordinary anthology—his mad scheme was to collect stories from the best writers in the field. And not just ANY stories—he wanted stories that were, well, too dangerous to get printed anywhere else.To cite just one example, from Damon Knight's afterword to "Shall the Dust Praise Thee?":It also features introductions to each story by Harlan, who talks about the writer, and an afterword by the writer about the story. This gives the reader an immense feeling of the community surrounding science-fiction, and was part of why the anthology was so well-received.Dangerous Visions (1967) won a truckload of awards, and Harlan got a special citation at the 26th World SF Convention for editing "the most significant and controversial SF book published in 1967". And it's gone on to be perhaps the most influential science-fiction anthology of all time.It had a sequel anthology, Again, Dangerous Visions (1971), and there were and sometimes apparently are plans for The Last Dangerous Visions, but... well, Harlan didn't like to talk about it (though Christopher Priest (novelist) is happy to). | |

| Dangerous Visions / int_1c6ded94 | comment |
Wicked Cultured: "Grandfather" is an antiquarian whose greatest personal interest is in the times before The Great Offscreen War and the atomic revolution, and can be heard talking about how he'd rather what's left of humanity die already. He killed Juliette's parents for the Time Machine he used to really make the most of things. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Dangerous Visions / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Cassidy does this to each of his ex-wives in increasingly cruel ways. The first ex-wife is in rehab to kick an addiction to a very dangerous drug, so Cassidy goes out and buys her some (with the implication being that she'll soon overdose). The second ex-wife dearly loves her alien pet, so Cassidy wrings its neck and kills it. When he goes to his third ex-wife and discovers that she's finally pregnant after years of fertility treatments, he beats her until she miscarries (or, at least, the baby will be born severely handicapped). | |

Aliens Are Bastards | |
| Dangerous Visions / int_3a90dc63 | comment |
Aliens Are Bastards: The "golden ones" are an inversion to Always Chaotic Evil aliens. They are benevolent enough (the narrator even refers to them as "humanitarian") to take the time and effort to heal Cassidy when basically all that was left of him was his brain. In return, all they ask is that Cassidy help them study humans and give him the ability to transmit the feelings of others. Once Cassidy completely abuses these powers by causing pain and suffering to others, they forcibly call him back and remove his powers. | |

Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu | |
| Dangerous Visions / int_52600ad6 | comment |
Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: The Eldritch Abomination in question turns out to be God, and the minor wound the hero received in the encounter ends up being fatal. However, it's seen as a vaguely optimistic outcome, as it's hinted that rebellion is impossible, so his minor act of defiance (in punching Cthulu in the face) is a victory for the human spirit. After he is "branded" as a result with a deadly sore, which slowly spreads over his body, he chooses to ignore it and spend his last night alive making love with his girlfriend as an act of humanity, denying Cthulhu a moral victory. | |

Gainax Ending: "Faith of Our Fathers" might be Philip K. Dick's most confounding story. Is it a satire of Communist society? An exploration of the true meaning of religion? Or a role reversal on LSD culture? Who can tell? The great communist leader is actually God in human form, and you can only see his true form(s) (a series of grotesque monstrosities) when you take thorizen, the "antidote" to LSD. | |

Alternate History | |
| Dangerous Visions / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: The protagonist is from a North America that was colonized by Ancient Greece, and he visits an alternate timeline where Viking and Magyar settlers cohabit with Native Americans. The protagonist also visited our timeline in a previous mission, and has nothing good to say about it. | |

Prophecies Are Always Right | |
| Dangerous Visions / int_f9636192 | comment |
Prophecies Are Always Right: The Oracle's predictions are never wrong. However, she's very sneaky with the wording; not only are the prophesies usually written in Latin or Ancient Greek (or some other dead language), they often contain cryptic references instead of actual answers. If she's not happy with you, she'll also mislead you while the prediction is still technically true. | |
