Praise for The New Voices of Science Fiction

[Starred Review] “In the introduction to this superlative anthology, Weisman (The New Voices of Fantasy) declares the future of science fiction resides in the sure hands of the authors of these 20 recent award-winning or award-nominated stories. Rajaniemi, a mathematical physicist and author (The Quantum Thief), adds that their various perspectives create “a tonal freshness” in the genre. . . . All these stories provoke the reader to ponder not only what the future might be but what it should be.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review

[Starred Review] “This collection of stories from up-and-coming sf writers is diverse in terms of plot and setting, yet all share an emphasis on creating a distinct tone and style for their imagined worlds . . . wonderful stories by Jamie Wahls, Vina Jie-Min Prasad, Suzanne Palmer, and many others make this a must-read for anyone interested in the latest and most exciting sf writing out there.”

“From the moment Mary Shelley took up her pen [and a dare], science fiction has inspired, challenged, and entertained audiences. That legacy is alive and thriving in Hannu Rajaniemi and Jacob Weisman’s curated collection The New Voices of Science Fiction. Covering the last five years of rising stars and new arrivals, the collection is a breath of fresh, interstellar air.” 
—Foreword Reviews

“This is a stupendous collection. Each story is a wonderful gift. Some are funny, some poignant; all are forward-looking, imaginative, intelligent, and full of heart. The voices are honest and fresh. The themes are contemporary but also universal: love, family, career, alienation, success, loss. There’s something here for everyone. I loved this collection. I simply couldn’t put it down.” 
—Michael Blumlein, author of Longer 

“The New Voices of Science Fiction is a stunning collection. There’s a story for every possible future—it’s impossible to put down.” 
—Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M

“The New Voices of Science Fiction speaks in tongues ticklish, rousing, urgent, and forked. This smart, transportive pack of stories shows us our future, shows us ourselves, shows us a hell of a good time.” 
—Katie Williams, author of Tell the Machine Goodnight

Praise for editor Hannu Rajaniemi

“A storytelling skill rarely found from even the most experienced authors.” 
—Library Journal

“Writing that’s striking, evocative. . . . Thoughtful, hard, densely realised and highly patterned, there’s nothing quite like it in contemporary SF.” 
—The Guardian

“Rajaniemi is a virtuoso idea-smith, with a flair for stylish imagery and clever literary architecture.” 
—Strange Horizons

“With his challenging, intellectual high-wire-balancing-act novels, Hannu Rajaniemi is definitely a body thief supreme.” 
—Barnes and Noble

Praise for editor Jacob Weisman
