About the author:
Brian Wilson Aldiss (1925-2017) was a British science fiction writer.
His literary breakthrough came in 1958 with the SF novel Non-Stop (also Starship, German journey without end, later Starship - Lost in Space), which describes the journey in a generation spaceship. He deals very carefully with language and describes an end-time vision. These main themes can be found again and again in his works until 1966.
In addition to Non-Stop, he had success in the USA in 1958 with the story Judas Dancing. The following year he received the Hugo Award for best young author. In 1962 he received another Hugo Award for the Hothouse Stories in the Narrative category.
He then began a series of gloomy visions of the future: Greybeard (1964), The Dark Light Years (1964) and Earthworks (1965) also surpassed their predecessors in terms of quality and increased Aldiss' good reputation.
In 1964, Michael Moorcock became editor of New Worlds magazine, initiating a change in direction of that magazine to New Wave SF literature. Aldiss was enthusiastic about it and, together with James Graham Ballard, became very involved in this magazine, which soon came to understand sf as speculative fiction.
Aldiss, who had already dealt with language in detail in his first work, was now able to give free rein to his linguistic and stylistic experiments. In his novel Cryptozoic - reprinted as An Age in New Worlds in 1967 - he let time run backwards, and in Report on Probability A (1968) he alienated perception and questioned the cognitive method of observation.
Aldiss is the inventor of the minisaga, a form of very short texts that tell a story in just 50 words.

Reviews from readers:
"An outstanding collection of stories showing just how diverse the genre can be.
Herein really is contained some of the best short stories SF has to offer. My highlights include:
"Lot" by Ward Moore - An incredibly chilling and poignant account of a man trying to get his family out of the city as nuclear war breaks out and society begins to collapse. He is well prepared but perhaps a little to cool and calculating...
"Nightfall" by Isaac Asimov - A planet with five suns rarely experiences night time but now its coming and the people don't know what to expect. Perhaps their civilisation will collapse...
"Swarm" by Bruce Sterling - Humanity encounters a space faring non intelligent race. Perhaps it can be exploited...
"Blood Music" by Greg Bear - A man injects his body with self replicating, self learning nano bots with the only instruction to keep on improving everything...
"Story of your life" by Ted Chiang - A linguist is employed to attempt to desipher an alien language but in doing so it radically changes her perception.
These are just some of the great stories you'll find in here. A great overview of the genre." - Simon
"A very well curated collection. Stories that ponder how people would behave in extraordinary, speculative circumstances. Loved this collection of stories." - Randompete
