A new short story collection exploring another of Science Fiction’s most important ‘big ideas’ – life in space, on stations, ships and freefall. The stories in this collection show the inspiration and original ideas behind hugely popular films such as Interstellar and even Wall-E. To show the range of the Library’s holdings, the authors include well-known favourites and recent re-discoveries from the periodicals collection.
Since space flight was achieved, and long before, science fiction writers have been imagining a myriad of stories set in the depths of the great darkness beyond our atmosphere. From generation ships – which are in space so long that there will be generations aboard who know no planetary life – to orbiting satellites in the unforgiving reaches of the vacuum, there is a great range of these insular environments in which innovative and deeply emotional stories may unfold.
With the Library’s matchless collection of periodicals and magazines at his fingertips, Mike Ashley presents a stellar selection of tales from the infinite void above us, including contributions from Judith Merril, Jack Vance and John Brunner.
