Nebula Award Stories
Selected by Isaac Asimov
Asimov writes a good introduction to each story. These stories were
written in the 50s and 60s. Asimov distinguishes between hard sci-fi and
fantasy. Arthur C Clarke's story is the former and is about a balloonist
travelling to Jupiter and the creatures he finds there. Frederick
Pohl's story is about a tax fiddle run by the Mafia and contains little
science. There's one story by a woman, Joanna Russ, about a planet
where all the men have been wiped out. The women have become very macho,
fighting duels and the like. Then men arrive and the women have to
decide whether they will kill them or accept them. All the stories are
very good.
