The Conglomeroid Cocktail Party is a collection by Robert Silverberg published in 1984.
Plot summary
[edit]The Conglomeroid Cocktail Party is a collection of 16 newly written science-fiction stories.[1]
Reception
[edit]Dave Langford reviewed The Conglomeroid Cocktail Party for White Dwarf #63, and stated that "These sixteen were written in the 80s, and are very polished indeed: suave, cosmopolitan, exotic. Sometimes, too, a bit routine in their use of well-worn SF elements; Silverberg's effects rely not on new twists but on atmosphere and irony. It's a good collection...though his 1967-76 novels remain his best work."[1]
