An anthology of science fiction stories and poems, along with critical works, most followed by study questions. Suggests topics for writing and research and for further reading.
This is a textbook, meant to be used in a university literature course, focusing on social science fiction." It includes futuristic non-fiction, some amazing stories, and commentaries about the definition of sf, its place in literature and in popular culture, its impact, etc.
I admit I skimmed the commentaries and the extensive editor notes. I felt not a pang of guilt doing so, because this book is much a product of the seventies - the editor didn't predict future trends of either social or technological development very well, making the book, esp. the non-fiction parts, largely irrelevant.
But the stories! Of course I wasn't surprised to see [b:The Machine Stops|4711854|The Machine Stops |E.M.
