Description:
The theme of Supermen: Tales of the Posthuman Future is the belief that humanity will be able to colonize other planets only by radically altering itself through genetic engineering and/or cybernetics. Editor Gardner Dozois, 12-time winner of science fiction's Hugo Award for Best Editor, has assembled 26 superb speculations by many of SF's best writers, from veteran visionaries like Greg Egan and Bruce Sterling to cutting-edge newcomers like David Marusek and Charles Stross. These stories first appeared between 1953 and 2000 (a majority between 1991-2000). They are pure, often hard SF, with powerful, sometimes frightening, always believable characters. Supermen is recommended to SF readers who won't mind that women make up only two of the contributors and barely more of the protagonists. Mr. Dozois has also edited a companion volume about remaking worlds, Worldmakers: SF Adventures in Terraforming. --Cynthia Ward
