Summary

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.

LeGuin, and Connie Willis along with the young turks of the fieldCharles 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."
