Reading Science Fiction Novels in English _ Cities in the air by Edmond Hamilton
"Cities in the Air" is a short story published in 1929 by Edmond Hamilton, and is one of his early works. This story is a good example of Hamilton's unique imagination and vision of future cities.
The novel is set on Earth in the distant future, when humans have left the ground and built huge cities in the sky. These cities in the air are presented as humanity's answer to the problems of pollution and overcrowding on the ground. The story explores the future society and the lives of people living in it.
Through this story, Hamilton keenly observes the development of technology, changes in human society, and the new problems that come with them. Centering around the innovative idea of cities in the air, he interestingly depicts the possibilities and challenges of future society.
The story presents a very progressive and bold vision of the future for its time, and shows the pioneering aspects of early 20th century science fiction. In particular, Hamilton's insights into urban planning and environmental issues are still relevant from a modern perspective.
Although "Cities in the Air" is one of Hamilton's early works, it is a fine display of his imaginative powers and his talent as a storyteller, and makes for an interesting read for readers interested in the history of science fiction.
Summary
"Captain Martin Brant, of American Federation Air-Cruiser 3885!"
As the high clear voice rang through the bridge-room of my racing cruiser, I turned toward the distance-phone from which it issued. Pressing a stud beneath the instrument I answered into it.
"Captain Brant speaking."
"Order of the First Air Chief to Captain Brant: You are informed that the European and Asiatic Federations have combined in alliance to launch a great and unexpected attack upon the American Federation. The European Federation fleet of five thousand air-cruisers is now racing over the Atlantic toward New York and other eastern cities, while the Asiatic Federation fleet of the same size is heading over the Pacific toward our western coasts.
