Editorial Reviews
The New York Times Book Review
PRAISE FOR THE NEBULA AWARDS SERIES A good way to take the pulse of modern science fiction.
From Booklist
These Nebula honorees are 1998 publications, but editor Benford is feeling millennial. The twentieth was "The Science Fiction Century," he says in his so-titled introduction addressing the furiously debated question of sf's raison d'etre. Benford has his answer but also presents others' remarks, beginning with those of Jonathan Lethem, whose Motherless Brooklyn, the 1999 Booklist Top of the List adult fiction selection, marks his crossover to mainstream fiction. Lethem mourns that sf's opportunity to enter the mainstream intact was lost in the '70s. Editor-authors Gordon Van Gelder and George Zebrowski rebut Lethem with intelligent variations on "So what?" These pieces, along with David G. Hartwell's on sf publishing, Bill Warren's on sf movies, and William Tenn's amusing Author Emeritus Award acceptance speech, fairly steal the award-winning stories' thunder, and so does the 1946 story reprinted to honor its author, new Grand Master Award winner Hal Clement. Still, the winners--Sheila Finch's "Reading the Bones," Jane Yolen's "Lost Girls," Bruce Holland Rogers' "Thirteen Ways to Water," and Joe Haldeman's Forever Peacearen't bad. Ray Olson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
