See how it all began! In Before They Were Giants, editor James L.
Sutter collects the first published stories of 15 of science fiction
and fantasy's most important authors, including winners of the
prestigious Hugo and Nebula awards, New York Times bestsellers, and
members of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Along with these often
rare or never-before-anthologized stories, all 15 authors provide
brand-new retrospective critiques and interviews discussing the
stories' geneses, how publication affected their lives, and what they
know now about writing that they wish they'd known then.
Contributors include Ben Bova, Charles Stross, China Miéville, Cory
Doctorow, David Brin, Greg Bear, Joe Haldeman, Kim Stanley Robinson,
Larry Niven, Michael Swanwick, Nicola Griffith, Piers Anthony, R. A.
Salvatore, Spider Robinson, and William Gibson.
