Publisher Description

Twenty-nine new short stories representing the state of the art in international science fiction.



The second annual instalment to the 'rare and wonderful' (The Times) The Best of World SF Volume 1, this collection of twenty-nine stories, including eight original and exclusive additions, represents the state of the art in international science fiction.



Navigating around the globe, The Best of World SF Volume 2 features writers from Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Greece, Grenada, India, Iraq, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, The Philippines, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Uganda and Zimbabwe.



Each story has been selected by World SF expert and award-winning author Lavie Tidhar. Taking us into space – Mars at first, then the stars – and then back to a strange, transformed Earth via AI, gods, aliens and the undead, the collection traces the ever-changing meaning of the genre from some of the most exciting voices writing today.



This is not a retrospective of what science fiction around the world used to look like. This is a snapshot of what some of it looks like now. And it's never been more exciting.



Reviews for The Best of World SF series:

'We need this anthology, and we need editors like Tidhar' The Times

'Just the start of a whole new game for speculative fiction authors around the world' LA Review of Books

'An excellent, lovingly curated collection' Financial Times

'This wonderful anthology should be a hit with any sci-fi fan' Publishers Weekly

'Tidhar gives a cheerful, fannish introduction to the stories, drawn from 26 countries on five continents, and encompassing a dizzying range of tones and approaches' The Times

'An outstanding assortment of international sci-fi shorts… a bold and powerful argument for non-Anglophone SF's potential to push the genre's boundaries.' Publishers Weekly Starred Review
