YMMV / Dangerous Visions

Go To

  • Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: In "Gonna Roll The Bones", Joe is actually in a bar, not a casino; his addiction is not to gambling, but to drinking. You can read the whole theory HERE
  • Genius Bonus: "A Toy For Juliette": Benjamin Bathurst, "that American aviatrix", and the crew of the Marie Celeste. To name just a few...
  • It Was His Sled: The reveal at the end of "The Jigsaw Man" has become one of the worldbuilding cornerstones of the Known Space 'verse. Even casual Niven fans reading the story nowadays will know how it ends.
  • Moral Event Horizon: In "Flies", Cassiday crosses it in the most brutal way possible.
  • Squick:
    • Some of the manifestations of God in "Faith of Our Fathers".
    • There's also some in "The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World''.
  • Values Dissonance: What was at the time shocking and transcendent can be by modern standards, incredibly overblown, self-important, self-indulgent, and frankly trying far too hard.
