James Blish not only wrote some ground-breaking SF (I recommend "Cities in
Flight" & the "After Such Knowledge" series in particular), he wrote some
of the best SF criticism and theorizing of the 1960's using the name
"William Atheling" [collected in the two "Issues at Hand" volumes, much
of which is still applicable today]. "The Seedling Stars" & "The Best of
James Blish" are good places to sample his shorter works.

[C] == Story Collection.
[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
