The Norton Book of Science Fiction
Author: Ursula K. Le Guin (Editor), Brian Attebery (Editor)

North American Science Fiction, 1960-1990. The 67 selections are of American and Canadian works written between 1930 and 1960, the period of the genre's 'maturity' according to editor Le Guin. The well-written, hard-hitting, evocative stories, including 'New Wave' and 'experimental' works, cover the grim v... more »ision of xenophobia and mindless traditionalism plus social experiments and a wonderful testimony to enduring faith. 42% of the total of these remarkable stories are written by women science fiction writers.
