The Big Book of Science Fiction

This anthology collects nearly a thousand pages of science fiction across galaxies and millennia, assembling stories by H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, Ursula K. Le Guin, Octavia Butler, Kurt Vonnegut, Isaac Asimov, Liu Cixin, and many others. It includes work from authors in over 25 countries, previously untranslated pieces, an unearthed story from W. E. B. Du Bois, and the first publication of cybernetic visionary David R. Bunch in twenty years. The selections range from space opera and hard SF to cyberpunk and the new wave, and they present premises such as never-ending life, changing one’s body to adapt to alien ecologies, a robot Pope, and travel from Mars to Mechanopolis and beyond.
