About this ebook

Paul Hendriks thinks he has won a place at the event of the century when he secures two costly engraved invitations to Ultrarama, a secretive new form of entertainment so coveted that crowds line up for days to see it. His skeptical wife is less impressed, but Hendriks is dazzled by the promise of a spectacle "more real than life itself" and by the prestige of being among the first to witness it. Inside the vast Ultrarama Theater, the luxury is overwhelming: a futuristic foyer, striking usherettes, and a screen that seems to surround the audience and erase the boundary between viewer and performance. When the show begins, that promise turns ominous. Hendriks is hurled into an astonishingly vivid African wilderness, where every sound, movement, and threat feels terrifyingly authentic. Predators stalk the landscape, and a black leopard attack pushes the experience from wonder into panic as he realizes the illusion has become indistinguishable from danger. Ultrarama is a sharp, suspenseful vision of immersive technology, public obsession, and the peril of entertainment that becomes too real. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

Robert Silverberg, born in New York City in 1935, is one of the most prolific and respected voices in modern science fiction, with a career that has stretched across more than six decades and helped shape the genre's evolution from pulp adventure to thoughtful literary exploration. After an early start as a remarkably productive writer, he became known for his extraordinary range, moving fluidly between fast-paced speculative tales, psychologically complex novels, and ambitious explorations of future societies, alien minds, and the limits of human identity. His work earned major honors and a lasting reputation for intelligence, elegance, and imaginative daring. Silverberg's fiction often examines loneliness, transformation, mortality, power, and the uneasy relationship between technology and humanity, themes that feel especially urgent in an age of rapid scientific change and shifting social realities. He has also been praised for his ability to make vast ideas emotionally immediate, giving readers not only speculative worlds but deeply human questions about memory, desire, and what it means to remain oneself in a changing universe. His legacy is that of a writer who helped expand science fiction's artistic ambitions while remaining endlessly readable, and he continues to matter to anyone interested in how the future reflects the present. Readers who enjoy intelligent, idea-driven fiction with philosophical depth and vivid imagination will find much to admire in Silverberg's work.
