These stories were chosen as representatives of the major subgenres within science fiction. Each story begins with an introduction by Asimov, where he provides background on the story, defines the genre of which it is a part, and examines why it is representative of that genre. Then, following each story, you'll find specific nuts-and-bolts commentary about the craft each author used in creating the story.

Good Study of What Works,

This review is from: Cosmic Critiques: How and Why Ten Science Fiction Stories Work (Paperback)
Although I don't agree that every story analyzed in this book is great, I did find the commentary to be helpful. It has been said many times over that if you want to write good fiction, you need to read good fiction. However, this won't work if you don't analyze what you read as well. This book walks you through the process, providing sage advice from and excellent writer (Asimov) and world-class editor (Greenberg).
