- Synopsis
- In this extraordinarily diverse and distinguished collection, covering SF's most provocative half century, you will find the classic short works of such familiar names as Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, and Ursula K. Le Guin, along with daring forays by innovators such as Harlan Ellison, Lucius Shepard, and Howard Waldrop, leavened with surprise appearances by Donald Westlake, Doris Lessing, and even Billy Crystal. The stories assembled here provide a glittering array of science fiction at its best, from the Golden Age to the New Wave, from Cyberpunk to Virtual Sex. All they have in common is that they are first-rate SF, unforgettable short fiction, and they were published in the always selective, never censorious, proudly controversial Playboy magazine.
