Impossible Futures

by Judith K. Dial (Editor), Thomas Easton (Editor)

Overview

An astonishing amount of the science and technology in vintage science fiction has come to pass. But an awful lot has not. Where's your invisibility suit? Your space train? Your very own personal robot?

But those old, never-happened ideas are still fun. For a fresh take on those old ideas, try Impossible Futures!

Includes stories by Rev DiCerto, Paul Di Filippo, Debra Doyle & James D. Macdonald, Duncan Eagleson, Jeff Hecht, Edward M. Lerner, Shariann Lewitt, Jack McDevitt, James Morrow, Mike Resnick, Sarah Smith & Justus Perry, Allen M. Steele, and Fran Wilde.

This wholly satisfying collection delivers an entertaining, engrossing, even exhilarating
reading experience.

ForeWord Reviews - Bill Baker

From Mike Resnick's tongue-in-cheek homage to H.G. Wells's The Island of Doctor Moreau ("The Enhancement") to Allen M. Steele's elegy to the "bygone" era of space trains ("Locomotive Joe and the Wreck of Space Train No. 4"), the 13 stories in this imaginative collection are inspired by predicted sf futures that never came to pass. VERDICT This themed anthology will make a good addition to the collections of short story lovers and fans of classic sf.
