A for Anything is a science fiction novel by American writer Damon Knight. The author postulates the discovery, in the near future, of the "Gismo", a device that can duplicate anything—even another Gismo. Since all material objects have become essentially free, the only commodity of value is human labor, and the author suggests that a slave economy would be the inevitable result. Knight has said of this novel: "I chose the matter duplicator, because I thought other authors had handled it badly."

  • Творець людей — науково-фантастичний роман американського письменника Деймона Найта. Вперше роман з’явився у 1959 році під назвою «Творець людей» за мотивами історії, випущеної у листопаді 1957 року у випуску «Фентезі & Сайнс фікшн». Потім Найт переглянув текст, який був опублікований Берклі в 1961 році та назвав його "A for Anything". Зазвичай його вважають найкращим романом Найта. Деймон Найт так висловився про цей роман: "Я вибрав розмножувач матерії, тому що вважав, що інші автори погано з ним справлялися". (uk)

  • A for Anything is a science fiction novel by American writer Damon Knight. The author postulates the discovery, in the near future, of the "Gismo", a device that can duplicate anything—even another Gismo. Since all material objects have become essentially free, the only commodity of value is human labor, and the author suggests that a slave economy would be the inevitable result. The novel first appeared in 1959 as The People Maker (Zenith Books), based on a story in the November 1957 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Knight subsequently revised the text, which was published by Berkley in 1961 as A for Anything. It is generally considered to be Knight's finest novel. Knight has said of this novel: "I chose the matter duplicator, because I thought other authors had handled it badly." (en)
