Search - The Year's Best S-F: 9th Annual Edition (aka The Best of Science Fiction 9)

The Year's Best SF 9th Annual Edition - aka The Best of Science Fiction 9
Author: Judith Merril (Editor)

Here are Science Fiction stories about the future, planned utopias, speculation about disturbing trends, how inventions change society, the marvels of new discoveries, and that academic discipline, science. The great 'what if?' What if we could travel in time or were living on other planets or made contact with alien races? And so ... more »on. Stories built around human beings, with a human problem, and a human solution, which would not have happened at all without its scientific content, hypothesized on the basis of some innovation in science or technology, or pseudo-science or pseudo-technology, whether human or extra-terrestrial in origin, and based on imagined future scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes, frequently portraying space or time travel and life on other planets. Often civilization or the race itself is in danger.
