Women of Wonder: Science-Fiction Stories by Women about Women
AuthorPamela Sargent
ISBN0140048677
'Women are writing many of the things male sf writers thought could never be written; they are making us examine tenets and shibboleths we thought were immutable.

The Best of Fritz Leiber
AuthorFritz Leiber
ISBN0848821270
Fritz Leiber's work bridges the gap between the pulp era of H. P. Lovecraft and the Paperback era of Philip K. Dick, and arguably, is as influential as both these authors. From a historical context, Leiber in fact knew both of the authors, and his work can be seen as a bridge connecting the many different...
Destination: Universe!
AuthorA.E. van Vogt
ISBN0425019128
van Vogt is a firehose of sci-fi creativity. A little weird, a little raw, and like real life the pieces don't always, or even usually, fit together nicely. But his raw imagination, wildly inventive ideas and talent for instilling a sense of wonder and mystery (and some confusion) were unequaled in his...

Virtual Girl
AuthorAmy Thomson
ISBN0441865003
I read this book when I was 13, and remember only some of it, but here are the compelling things about it that have stuck with me ever since!

The Best of Stanley G. Weinbaum
AuthorStanley G. Weinbaum
ISBN0345238907
Okay this was a book I picked up because of the cover. However I will this time admit it was more because I recognised the artist than I did the author. The piece is by Peter Ellson and goes by the same names as the book. Peter Elson was yet another artist featured in the books of Paper Tiger so I sort of use that...

Dreamships
AuthorMelissa Scott
ISBN0812513029
This is one of the most realistic, absorbing sci-fi universes I have ever dived into so I've got to dedicate a bit to it:

What got me hooked most of all was how it manages to stay clear of one of the most common pitfalls of catapulting modern Western society forward a few thousand years and instead...
