I stumbled across this series when a friend gave me volume 38. I was like hey I'm 38. Is this series as old as I am? Yes it is. It came out the same year I was born. So I immediately started trying to find the older ones to start at the beginning.

Thought provoking and eye opening.

With all 'collected' short story volumes, it is the editor that 'ensures' this is the best gathered. Very is rarely that statement tends to be correct. Yes, sometimes true, but not the case here.

My star rating indicates some tales are good, while I found it not for everyone, including myself.

You may enjoy.

Apparently the first volume in a massive series: L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future.

Shorts by (then) new writers. Some good, a few excellent. Beautiful original illustrations. Essays by stalwarts like Roger Zelazny, Theodore Sturgeon and Robert Silverberg.

old science fiction is pretty much my favourite thing. this book has a whole bunch of short stories, and some essays on the genre, the contest, and the nature of scifi itself.
