Science Fiction by Scientists by Michael Brotherton

Today there is a new generation of scientists writing science fiction informed with the expertise of their fields, from astrophysics to computer science, biochemistry to rocket science, quantum physics to genetics, speculating about what is possible in our universe.
“There are a total of fourteen, and each has a very useful afterword by the author explaining the background to his or her thinkingThis is certainly a book that can be recommended.” (Odyssey, Issue 46, March, 2017)

“Here’s another one for SI readers in general and Analog readers in particular: Fourteen stories by writers who are also working scientists or have extensive scientific experience. … This book would be another perfect gift for any Analog reader.” (Analog Science Fiction & Fact, 2017)
