Interior text

Science or fiction?

Here are nine novelets dealing with the world we do not yet know. Each is a masterfully told story in its own right, exploring areas of future life that are no longer merely possible.

Science fiction has come of age. Within these pages, moreover, it is at once apparent that its practitioners are clearly the most able and exciting writer writing today.

The World That Couldn't Be, nine superlative, provocative, challenging science-fiction novelets from Galaxy Magazine.
