The New Voices of Science Fiction by Jacob Weisman, Hannu Rajaniemi
3.0
The New Voices of Science Fiction is a brilliant anthology of cutting-edge short stories hand-selected by award-winning author Hannu Rajaniemi.
The stories come from the new wave of science fiction authors from a diverse range of countries, ethnicities, sexualities, and gender identities - all of which is reflected in their works.
This is a genre spanning collection covering space, aliens, time travel, post-apocalypse, technology, medicine, parallel worlds, and more, and as with all such compendiums some tales are better than others, but here the balance favours the excellent over anything else.
I don't read enough science fiction these days, but this has certainly inspired me to look out more material by the authors included, as well as other upcoming writers in the field.
