The Great Books Foundation Science Fiction Omnibus
Science fiction came of age as a major literary genre in the twentieth century. This second volume in the Omnibus series showcases some of its greatest masters, with stories that will spark timely discussion of imagined—but always plausible—worlds.
Praise for the Science Fiction Omnibus:
“I’ve signed my e-mails in recent years with the phrase ‘Let’s save the world through science fiction,’ and although that may be hyperbole, it is hyperbole with a purpose. The world needs saving and the speculative content of science fiction—the testing of possible futures for livability, as John W. Campbell once put it—may be one way to do that. This anthology, and the imprimatur of the Great Books Foundation, is not only a major step forward but, if I may say so, overdue.”
—James Gunn, author of The Immortals, editor of the Road to Science Fiction series, and past president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America
