Editorial Reviews

Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine has published outstanding short fantasy and science fiction by leading authors for over 30 years.

From its earliest days under the editorial direction of Isaac Asimov,Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine has maintained the tradition of publishing innovative, entertaining stories from award-winning authors and first-time writers alike. It is where George R. R. Martin’s Daenerys Targaryen first appeared on the printed page, where Kim Stanly Robinson first staked his claim on “Green Mars,” where Octavia E. Butler’s Hugo and Nebula Award winning short fiction were first published, and where the first professional fiction publications of Jonathan Lethem, Kelly Link, and Allen M. Steele appeared.

Asimov's is home to many bestselling authors, including Connie Willis, Robert Silverberg, Mike Resnick, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Stephen Baxter, and many more. Asimov’s keeps readers informed about science fiction and fantasy through an editorial column, a web-focused column, insightful book reviews, and thought-provoking articles about science and science fiction.

Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, featuring six 208-page double issues each year, continues to receive recognition for its outstanding stories, authors, and editors.

Delightful (non-digital) treat

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

Having read SF for years and, having collected many collections of SF, I am thoroughly enjoying not only accessing some of the latest stories and essays about the genre, but as the newsprint is super light, I throw it in my bag or briefcase or satchel and it adds only a negligible amount weight which becomes a delicious break-time plunge into different worlds and visions and the urgency demanded of some people to share their dreams. I use digital media almost all day every day, thus having in my hands the feel of paper, the sound and texture of turning pages is an absolute treat and restful for the eyes.

BTW, the soy ink used to print does not bleed or smear as traditional ink does in from newspapers.

Review of Jay O'Connell's novella "What We Hold Onto"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is specifically a review of Jay O'Connell's splendid novella, "What We Hold Onto," not the Asimov's issue as a whole.... "What We Hold Onto" presents a layered and evocative vision of the future. Differences between our world and the story's future are unobtrusively threaded into the narrative. Some differences are large (climate change has already taken place); some medium (people can modify their bodies so that their skin displays images); some small (pet insurance has become hugely expensive). This mixture, together with the richness of the details, makes the world very real. More importantly, the characters are real, and the themes are human and heartfelt. The story speaks about loneliness, friendship, death, about being a parent and about watching your parents age, about holding onto the past and letting it go. The narrator's relationship with her two college-age sons particularly moved me. There is also a strong romance element, which I very much enjoyed. I didn't know why the man was so drawn to the narrator, perhaps because the narrator herself didn't know, but I cared about both of them, and willed them on toward what I hoped would be a happy ending. An excellent story.

Excellent stories from well-known authors but oh the print is so small--eyestrain is not enjoyable.

Makes your mind embrace the future

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Asimov’s Science Fiction has always shined for excellence. It is a well paved road into possible futures (making even the most improbable appeared workable). A beacon of hope in the dark that nowadays gathers around us compromising too many aspects of our life. Silverberg’s reflections are always a real pleasure delving, as they often do, into the nook and crannies of past works that would otherwise remain, very likely, forgotten not to mention his personal, and enriching, experiences which he shares with us the readers. The “On Books” keeps abreast with what the field has to offer encompassing its multiple facets and branching into science itself besides. And the fans find in the “SF Conventional Calendar” the right arena to satisfy their desire to mingle and, whenever possible, meet the authors.

Look forward to the next issue.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Almost wish this was monthly but that would add to the price. Plenty in each edition but it goes pretty fast. Seems like a nice mix/balance of stories and you can always skip one if its not to your taste. No advertising to wade through. I use an old kindle and prefer the "text view."

Good reading, awful format

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Some very good stories inside, no issue here. But guys, seriously, it’s 2020. This is not how you distribute e-books. I get the long traditions of the journal, I do, but this not paper. This is read on the user’s device, and you don’t know the screen size or your reader’s preferences in advance.
For example, I could only guess that this would be unreadable on the phone, which is how many people read nowadays. I read on my iPad, but even for me this is problematic. The fact that you hardcode linebreaks means that the text can only be displayed in thin columns, 2 in portrait and 3 (!) in landscape orientation. And if it’s true what people say in other comments, and the older issues simply get deleted from your reader’s library, than this is just ridiculous.
I’m torn in regards to the grade I’m supposed to give here. 5 stars for the stories, 1 star for usability and giving a damn about your reader? An average of 3, I guess?

Not a good choice for Kindle

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

The magazine is great, plenty of stories, worth the price ( but not in the Kindle format ) very difficult to use with Kindle ) one false move on your part and you spend a good amount of time trying to find your place. Does work much better with tablet format. Unable to use with kindle app on laptop.

Terrible decline in quality .

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have subscribed for several years but I am at the point of cancelling. The quality of the stories has declined drastically . Many can barely be called science fiction. The so called poetry is a total waste of space . The formatting is a nuisance. The slightest touch sends you to the start of the current story or the next one and you have no way to recover your place.
The current issue is full of misprints and appalling English.

tough to navigate on a Kindle

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

First story I attempted to read seemed more like a Western, no science that I could see. Finding better stories proved too difficult. Why no table of contents?

Make yourself more computer literate than I am.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I only read the first issue sent to me. Decided it was not for me as in my view it did not reach an Asimov standard. The 1 star awarded was for arriving regularly. My trouble is I cannot find how to cancel order. I was born long, long, before the computer age came within the public domain.

Always something to like

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 10, 2019

Like any of these magazines individual taste means that some stories appeal more than others. For me Asimov's has a higher strike rate than any others in the field.

This magazine is great. I've gotten to know some authors new to me & read some brilliant stories. Occasionally I come across a story I don't like but this issue I really enjoyed.
