The Science Fiction Century by David G. Hartwell

bloodravenlib's review

3.0

I read this over the summer of 1998. It is a very comprehensive science fiction anthology. I think it makes a very good work if you want to get a historical overview of where the genre comes from and where it is going. The stories do vary in quality, so odds are good you may find some you like more than others. Overall, a book you can read cover to cover, or just to browse. It has been a while since I read it, so I may have to revisit this book sometime.

There's little rhyme or reason to this collection. The stories are not organized in any recognizable structure, don't seem to cover all the important authors of the 20th century and vary in style enough where it's a jarring transition between stories.
