Sadly forgotten by many, James Blish was one of those rare hybrids who could produce science fiction about people or about technology. His landmark books are the cities in flight series, with the fascinating concept of spindizzy motors that lift whole cities into space, and the soul searching, thematically link books Black Easter, A Case of Conscience and Doctor Mirabilis, his book about the remarkable Roger Bacon.

Cities in Flight Not available from Amazon.com, but it only costs a few dollars more to get it NOW from the UK...
Blish is sadly mostly remembered now for TV SF novelisations. Cities in Flight comprises four novels. The Earth has depleted resources. Three key inventions - the Dirac radio, allowing simultaneous transmission throughout the universe, and the Spindizzy, a drive of enormous power, and anti-ageing drugs - allow whole cities take off to cruise the galaxy in search of work.

A Case of Conscience.
An interstellar missionary is faced with a terrible dilemma. The natives he is supposed to convert have a very real, tangible belief: should he try to change them? The masterpiece of Blish's adult writing.

The Seedling Stars.  
You didn't make an Adapted Man with just a wave of the wand. It involved an elaborate constellation of techniques, known collectively as pantropy, that changed the human pattern in a man's shape and chemistry before he was born. And the pantropists didn't stop there. Education, thoughts, ancestors and the world itself were changed, because the Adapted Men were produced to live and thrive in the alien environments found only in space. They were crucial to a daring plan to colonize the universe. New 27 November 2001
