Reviews
"Everything about this book is exciting. First, it's huge--some 750,000 words fill its 1,200 pages. Second, it's been compiled by one of sci-fi's coolest power couples--she's a distinguished editor (Tor.com,  Weird Tales ), he's a superb writer (2014's Southern Reach trilogy). And finally, it's not just another survey of white men in science fiction (aka Phillip K.'s dicks). For every Wells and Dick and George R.R. Martin, there's work by Le Guin, Butler, and Katherine MacLean--not to mention stories from all over the world, from China (Liu Cixin) to Argentina (Silvina Campo). Gift it to a friend, then buy one for yourself."  -- Jason Kehe, Wired (This Summer's Must-Read Books) "At 105 stories--taken from around the world and since the genre's very beginnings to its recent heights--and more than 1,000 pages, this extraordinary anthology handily earns its billing as the 'ultimate collection' of science fiction. . . . The VanderMeers, longtime SF/F editors ( The Time Traveler's Almanac  and many others), provide a critical survey of the field as well as incisive biographies of the contributors." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review), "Everything about this book is exciting.

This volume is a perfect mix of the classic and the unexpected." -- Flavorwire   "Everything about this book is exciting. First, it's huge--some 750,000 words fill its 1,200 pages.

This is the case for Ann and Jeff Vandermeer's Big Book of Science Fiction , an anthology that goes back to the genre's roots in pulp fiction, all the way up to the end of the 20th Century, picking the best stories from around the world (including a number never before translated into English) . . . We took one look at this massive anthology's Table of Contents, and fell in love at first sight." --io9 "Whether you're a life-long fan of science fiction or layperson diving deep into a new genre, this incredible anthology offers a comprehensive genre education between two covers. In more than 1,000 pages and upwards of 100 stories, the VanderMeers have compiled a truly representative history of SF from its early beginnings to its myriad modern incarnations. . . . This is an unparalleled achievement, and undoubtedly one of the most important books you'll buy this year." -- Barnes and Noble Booksellers' Picks "When it comes to massive and comprehensive anthologies focused on a specific strain of fiction, the editorial team of Ann and Jeff VanderMeer has set the bar remarkably high."  -- LitHub "Ann and Jeff VanderMeer are a powerhouse editing team; their recent anthology of weird fiction helped define a genre, and took a smart historical global view while doing it. This anthology does a similar feat to science fiction, with an expansive aesthetic and work from a host of writers, including W.E.B. DuBois, Cixin Liu, Ursula K. Le Guin, and George R.R. Martin." -- Vol. 1 Brooklyn "These stories were chosen for continuing relevance and arranged to interplay like voices in a great conversation: shifting and offering new insights. . . . Throughout this collection, every piece of wrack, scavenger bird, and sorceress contains multitudes." -- Locus Magazine "A fun and solid genre education." -- Library Journal (Starred Review) "At 105 stories--taken from around the world and since the genre's very beginnings to its recent heights--and more than 1,000 pages, this extraordinary anthology handily earns its billing as the 'ultimate collection' of science fiction. . . . The VanderMeers, longtime SF/F editors ( The Time Traveler's Almanac  and many others), provide a critical survey of the field as well as incisive biographies of the contributors." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "If your readerly appetite is not quite novel-sized, you'll definitely want to check out this month's short fiction offerings. If you only choose one title, make it The Big Book of Science Fiction edited by Ann & Jeff VanderMeer."  --Kirkus

Synopsis
Quite possibly the greatest science fiction collection of all time-- past, present, and future What if life was neverending? What if you could change your body to adapt to an alien ecology? What if the pope were a robot? Spanning galaxies and millennia, this must-have anthology showcases classic contributions from H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, Octavia E. Butler, and Kurt Vonnegut, alongside a century of the eccentrics, rebels, and visionaries who have inspired generations of readers. Within its pages, you'll find beloved worlds of space opera, hard SF, cyberpunk, the New Wave, and more. Learn about the secret history of science fiction, from titans of literature who also wrote SF to less well-known authors from more than twenty-five countries, some never before translated into English. In The Big Book of Science Fiction, literary power couple Ann and Jeff VanderMeer transport readers from Mars to Mechanopolis, planet Earth to parts unknown.

    Did not have a good experience with this seller. It took the seller 7 days to ship out the item. They also refused to reply to some of my messages. To make matters worse, the seller sloppily just slapped a shipping label on the retail box of the item and shipped it bare with no protection during transit. As a result, the box arrived damaged and beat up. It is pretty clear that this seller does not care about providing a good experience to the buyer.
