Beschrijving

Three short novels by some of science fiction’s greatest writers — Ursula K. Le Guin, James Tiptree, Jr., and Gene Wolfe, edited by Robert Silverberg.
_The New Atlantis_, by Ursula K. Le Guin: In a dark near-future, global warming and a ruined ecology is causing the continents to sink into the oceans just as the towers of Atlantis re-emerge above the sea. Locus award winner and Hugo finalist.
_Silhouette_, by Gene Wolfe, and _A Momentary Taste of Being_, by James Tiptree, Jr., present two different masterpieces on a similar theme: A deep-space colony exploration ship approaches their target planet, where they must investigate whether or not it’s hospitable enough to signal Earth to send more colonists. Things are not as they seem… Nebula / Locus award finalist stories.

Three of science fiction’s most gifted writers–winners of Hugos, Nebulas, and a National Book Award–unleash their imaginations to present startling glimpses of humanity’s future on Earth and in space. Blended into that future are age-old mysteries of the human psyche, mythicized fragments of the past, and the eternal question of biological purpose.
