In much of the science fiction of the past, the twenty-first century existed only in the writers\u2019 imaginations. Now that it\u2019s here, it\u2019s time to take a look back at the last one hundred years in science fiction through the works of the most celebrated and acclaimed authors of the century\u2014to see where we\u2019ve been and just how far we\u2019ve come.
\u00a0
Along with a critical essay by Orson Scott Card reassessing science fiction in the twentieth century, Masterpieces includes short fiction by writers who have forged a permanent place for science fiction in the popular culture of today…and tomorrow. It offers a glimpse of the greatest works that mixed science with fiction in trying to figure out humanity\u2019s place in the universe. Featuring bold, brave, and breathtaking stories, this definitive collection will stand the test of time in both this century and those to come.<\/p>\n
