Algis Budrys 
Blood and Burning [EPUB ebook] 

Science fiction begins, wrote Algis J. Budrys, where unreality leaves off. In these unforgettable stories Budrys creates an alien but familiar world stripped of the lies of everyday life: a world where cannibalism is a medical, not an ethical problem; where "not-dying" is the alternative to both life and death; where the last man on Earth dances in hideous and exquisite joy.
