SummaryA new generation of science fiction fans is at hand. A new
generation that is curious, smart, audacious, and
experimental. It is for them that Patrick Nielsen Hayden-
winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology - has
selected these stories from the thousands published by
contemporary SF writers over the past two decades. Here are writers such as Philip K. Dick, Orson Scott Card,
Jane Yolen, Greg Bear, Kim Stanley Robinson, Steven Gould,
Connie Willis, Spider Robinson, and many more. Here is a
careening adventure along the outside of a tower looming
miles above the ground, and a tale of desperate survival on
the deadly surface of the Moon. Here is a world in which
children divorce their parents, and the story of a four-
dimensional boy in a three-dimensional world. Here are
future young people rebuilding after terrible disasters,
and here is a story of the future development of baseball-
on Mars. Nightmarish or whimsical, irreverent or swashbuckling, each
of these stories is an adventure in imagination. Journey
from the here and now into New Skies.
