Description

[STARRED REVIEW] "A must-read for anyone interested in the latest and most exciting sf writing out there." —Booklist

Your future is bright! After all, your mother is a robot, your father has joined the alien hive-mind, and your dinner will be counterfeit 3D-printed steak. Even though your worker bots have staged a mutiny, and your tour guide speaks only in memes, you can always sell your native language if you need some extra cash.

The avant-garde of science fiction have arrived in this space-age sequel to the World Fantasy Award-winning anthology,The New Voices of Fantasy. Here you'll find the rising stars of the last five years: Rebecca Roanhorse, Amal El-Mohtar, Alice Sola Kim, Sam J. Miller, E. Lily Yu, Rich Larson, Vina Jie-Min Prasad, Sarah Pinsker, Darcie Little Badger, Nino Cipri, S. Qiouyi Lu, Kelly Robson, and more. Their extraordinary stories have been hand-selected by cutting-edge author Hannu Rajaniemi (The Quantum Thief) and genre expert Jacob Weisman (Invaders).

So go ahead, join the interstellar revolution. The new kids have already hacked the AI.

[STARRED REVIEW] A must-read for anyone interested in the latest and most exciting sf writing out there.”
Booklist, starred review

[STARRED REVIEW] “Superlative . . . All these stories provoke the reader to ponder not only what the future might be but what it should be.”
 —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Readers often turn to established writers whose work they’ve previously enjoyed for more of the same. That’s fine, but to add a little variety I also recommend supplementing that with stories by new authors. The New Voices of Science Fiction, edited by Hannu Rajaniemi and Jacob Weisman (Tachyon), is the perfect anthology to do just that.”
Kirkus 

“A truly excellent volume of SF.”
 —The British Fantasy Society

“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

“Great and inspiring work from a field that can continue to astound.”
Tulsa Book Review 

“This is a killer collection, full of top-notch stories beautifully written and invested with much care, compassion and thought.”
 —Paul Di Filippo, Locus

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

“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

“This is a wonderful selection of stories highlighting not only some great ,writers, but a wealth of fabulous ideas and new twists on old science fiction tropes. It’s just over 400 pages long, giving a decent amount of stories to enjoy and allowing the editors to indulge themselves and include a whole host of interesting authors. If you want a flavour of cutting edge Science Fiction today, this is an excellent choice of reading material.”
 —SF Crowsnest

“These writers demonstrate the breadth of concepts and worlds with which science fiction writers can create a delicious buffet of stories for readers to gorge themselves on and that, for emerging writers in the genre, there will always be plenty of room for stunning originality.”
Strange Alliances
