The Mammoth Book of 20th Century Science Fiction by David G Hartwell
This volume, covering the period from the 1890s to the future, includes stories from founding fathers of the field like H.G. Wells and C.S. Lewis; beloved mainstays of the genre, such as Philip Jose Farmer, Roger Zelazny and Jack Vance; and, notable female writers, including Nancy Kress, and authors like Bruce Sterling, William Gibson and James Morrow, who have hit their stride in the last two decades. Also featured in this title are those widely recognised outside the genre, the celebrated writing of E.M. Forster and Michael Shaara, as well as translations of foreign writers' formative work including that of Wolfgang Jeschke and Dino Buzzati.
David G. Hartwell, World Fantasy Award-winning editor and anthologist, and a senior editor at Tor Books, has twice before redefined a genre - first, the horror field with The Dark Descent and, second, with hard SF in The Ascent of Wonder.
