Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction
Arthur B. Evans · 2010
84/100
👍 Worth It
Fifty-two stories spanning 150 years, selected by working scholars and built for the classroom — this is the kind of anthology that earns its place on the shelf and stays there. The critical introductions give it real depth beyond a best-of sampler, and the range across gender, race, and era is genuinely impressive.
