Riassunto

This wide-ranging collection represents the breadth of science fiction writing published in the most significant and enduring magazine in the field during the past three decades. Slipstream authors such as Jonathan Lethem, James Patrick Kelly, and Kelly Link mingle with classic authors like Isaac Asimov, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Connie Willis along with the young turks of the field?Charles Stross, Michael Swanwick, and Stephen Baxter. Featuring a well-balanced overview of both the classic and the contemporary, the book contains memorable stories from highly respected contributors to the science fiction genre such as Isaac Asimov’s ?Robot Dreams,” Bruce Sterling’s ?Dinner in Audoghast,” Jonathan Lethem’s ?The Happy Man,” Ursula LeGuin’s ?Ether, OR,” and Octavia E. Butler's "Speech Sounds.”

Recensione:

A truly extraordinary sampler of tales.... Every piece in this superlative collection is a nugget of pure science-fiction gold.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review

A gem, and a credit to editor Williams.”
Booklist

From John Varley’s 1977 look at a new kind of Air Raid’ to Robert Reed’s 2006 dissection of a fictitious and ominously portentous short-lived TV-series ( Eight Episodes’), the 17 stories in this collection span the 30-year period since the late Isaac Asimov first published the magazine that bears his name and stands for the best in current SF and visionary fiction. Including stories by Robert Silverberg, Octavia Butler, Mike Resnick, Ursula Le Guin, and other genre standouts, this volume belongs in most SF or short-fiction collections.”
