Future on Ice Paperback - 2000

by Orson Scott Card; Orson Scott Card (Editor)

"A selection of some of the best stories of the 1980s. . . . An excellent anthology with important work." That's how "The Denver Post" describes this compendium of sci-fi stories from 18 authors, including Nancy Kress, Gregory Benford, Octavia E. Butler, Lewis Shiner, John Crowley, and George R.R. Martin.

From the publisher

Orson Scott Card's companion anthology to Future on Fire, a compendium of exciting stories by the hottest writers of the 1980s and 1990s. To my mind, fiction that tastes like medicine is no damn good. If it isn't a wonderful story first, who cares how 'important' it is? - Orson Scott Card Future on Ice is an anthology of stories that will freeze you in your tracks---and change the way you think. Here are early stories from widely varied and immensely talented authors who have since shattered the face of science fiction: George R. R. Martin, Octavia E. Butler, Isaac Asimov, Nancy Kress, Lisa Goldstein, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, David Zindell, John Crowley, Andrew Weiner, C. J. Cherryh, John Varley, Walter Jon Williams, Karen Joy Fowler, Lewis Siner, Rockabye Baby, and John Kessel. A widely varied, immensely enjoyable, and historically important anthology, Future on Ice is a showcase for the hottest stories by the coolest SF writers of the 1980s. Complete with a preface, introduction, and story notes by Card himself, here are early stories from eighteen incredibly talented authors who have since shattered the face of science fiction.
