An anthology of Modern Science Fiction published to commemorate the 33rd World Science Fiction Convention held in Melbourne, August 1975.
$25.00
Modern science fiction has come a long way from its early beginnings in specialist American magazines of the early 1930s: its rapid growth and current world-wide popularity represents a literary phenomenon unique to the twentieth century. This collection brings together, for the first time, some of the best contemporary science fiction by American, British and Australian writers. As well as providing a valuable showcase for fine writing, Beyond Tomorrow will also serve as an introduction to a genre which, although enormously popular overseas, is still relatively unknown in Australia. The stories have been chosen to provide a broad spectrum of the field. Isaac Asimov strikes the right note with his illuminating foreword.
