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 much has not. Where's your laser gun? Your invisibility suit? Your very own personal robot girlfriend?

Despite their obsolescence, these dreams have staying-power. For a fresh take on these classic ideas, try Impossible Futures!

Editorial Reviews

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.

Library Journal

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