Watch out - the Earth just fell into a dark sun's orbit! Or maybe you'd rather visit a theme park called Hell? These are just two of the strange and unnerving tales you'll find in this collection of great science fiction and fantasy stories. Take your imagination into futuristic and mystical worlds where gravity can kill and humans become walking biochip labs. See the world through the eyes of a four-legged creature in Susan Shwartz's Critical Cats, and meet an electronic storyteller in Isaac Asimov's Someday.
The other stories include Greg Bear's Blood Music, Ben Bova's The Man Who Hated Gravity, Arthur C. Clarke's Breaking Strain, Fritz Leiber's A Pail of Air, Kristine Kathryn Rusch's Sing and Story Child, Dan Simmons's Vanni Fucci Is Alive and Well and Living in Hell, Connie Willis's Ado, and Jane Yolen's Green Messiah.

" Loved this collection. "
Arthur C. Clarke is considered one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. He is best known for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, for which he also coauthored the screenplay with Stanley Kubrick for the 1968 Academy Award–winning major motion picture. Besides winning a number of Hugo and Nebula awards, he was awarded the Kalinga Prize, a UNESCO award for popularizing science. He was knighted by the British monarchy and is the only science fiction writer to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. He is an international treasure in many other ways: An article written by him in 1945 led to the invention of satellite technology. His books of both fiction and nonfiction have more than one hundred million copies in print worldwide.
