The Players of Null-A

About “The Players of Null-A”

The Pawns of Null-A is a 1956 science fiction novel by A. E. van Vogt. It was originally published as a four-part serial in Astounding Stories from October 1948 to January 1949 under the title The Players of Null-A. The book explores ideas from the General semantics of Alfred Korzybski and references non-Aristotelian logic. All later U.S. editions have used the original title. The first UK edition was published in 1960 as The Pawns of Null-A, and subsequent UK editions have used both titles. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
