The value of The Science Fiction Century, edited by David G. Hartwell, is
that, along with a few classic stories, its 1005 pages include rare stories by
well-known authors, and (most valuable of all) a handful of stories by authors
even most science fiction addicts will never have heard of. But it also misses
much. Where is Philip K. Dick, now acknowledged as one of the most significant
writers of the century? And there is not a single living British writer; so no
Brian W. Aldiss, J. G. Ballard, Stephen Baxter, Arthur C. Clarke, Ian McDonald .
. . It may be idiosyncratic, but it is still an excellent selection of stories
that “express faith in science and reason”. Published by Robinson/Tor,
