Synopsis :

A selection of 30 science fiction writings which charts the development of science fiction this century, through a wide range of practitioners.

Revue de presse: Review from previous edition 'both authoritative and audacious, up-to-date and historically wise, the best yet introduction to a bewildering field' (Greg Benford)

'travels through ninety years' development from mechanical to fantastical ... first rate' (Daily Telegraph)

'ideal ... even contains much to convert the sceptics, with its survey of highlights from Wells to Kipling, via Arthur C. Clarke and J.G. Ballard, to David Brin' (Independent on Sunday)

'[Tom Shippey's] new anthology not only is useful and important, it illuminates the field with the editor's insights and selections.' (James Gunn)
