Here鈥檚 a brick of a book. The Norton Book of Science Fiction is 30 years of
science fiction by North American writers between 1960 and 1990, edited by
Ursula Le Guin and Brian Attebery. Begin at the beginning? 鈥淎lpha Ralpha
Boulevard鈥� by Cordwainer Smith? Or at the end with John Kessel鈥檚 鈥淭he Invaders鈥�
on page 850? However you read it, the riches of imagination shine through. And
just flicking through the list of stories, picking the next treat, shows the
course of science fiction. For example, remarks Le Guin, 鈥淲e have regendered a
field that was, to begin with, practically solid testosterone鈥�, so you鈥檒l find
Octavia Butler, James Tiptree and Pat Cadigan in good company. Then there鈥檚
Philip K. Dick, Samuel R. Delaney . . . Give it to a good friend (borrow it
back) or keep it for yourself. Published by W. W. Norton, 拢17.95, ISBN
