The second in a series of superb science fiction. The Alpha series of anthologies center on no particular theme except that o f literary quality. Two criteria were used in the selecting of these stories--literary merit an d importance to the genre. The result is that the variety of subjects is ma tched only by the richness and diversity of their handling--brilliant, frig htening, clever, bizarre, powerful, witty, funny--and several steps in-betw een. Whatever else these stories may be doing, they all explore the interplay be tween human beings and the technological society man has created for himsel f. Good science fiction simultaneously peers into remote realms of space an d time and holds a mirror to the contemporary moment; and if the reflection in that mirror is somewhat distorted, so be it. Blame not the messenger fo r bearing bad tidings. Herewith ten stories which demonstrate the unsettlin g kinds of insights that science fiction alone can offer. More are on the w ay. The nine volumes of this series provide an exciting cumulative view of a fi eld in which some of the most vigorous and inventive fiction of our times h as been produced. Simply put, here is the best science fiction from the best science fiction writers.
