Twenty-nine new short stories representing the state of the art in
international science fiction.
The second annual installment to the 'rare and wonderful' (The Times)
The Best of World SF Volume 1, this collection of twenty-nine stories,
including eight original and exclusive additions, represents the state
of the art in international science fiction.
Navigating around the globe, The Best of World SF Volume 2 features
writers from Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, China,
Czech Republic, Greece, Grenada, India, Iraq, Italy, Jamaica, Japan,
Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, The Philippines, Poland,
Russia, Singapore, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
Each story has been selected by World SF expert and award-winning author
Lavie Tidhar. Taking us into space - Mars at first, then the stars - and
then back to a strange, transformed Earth via AI, gods, aliens and the
undead, the collection traces the ever-changing meaning of the genre
from some of the most exciting voices writing today. This is not a
retrospective of what science fiction around the world used to look
like. This is a snapshot of what some of it looks like now. And it's
never been more exciting.
