2.0 out of 5 stars The Norton Book of Science Fiction, 8 Oct 2002
By A Customer
As the book is likely to be used as a class reader for Science Fiction Studies I had hoped for a classic selection of the Great Science Fiction. I found that the parameters of the book had been set to exclude All the 'Golden Age' SF all the British 'New Wave' SF and All 'World SF' No Verne No Wells, But it did include a large pro feminist selection. A sad disapointment

A long time SF Fan

5.0 out of 5 stars A Generous View of SF, 22 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Norton Book of Science Fiction (Hardcover)
In this anthology, the wide-ranging editors dared to choose the stories they personally thought were important, rather than accepting consensus reality of everyone else's favorites. I like what they chose. Every story is worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic collection of Science Fiction short stories., 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Norton Book of Science Fiction (Hardcover)
This anthology is a great collection of short stories from some of the greatest Science Fiction writers of from 1960-1990. This collection was gathered by one of the premier Science Fiction writers of our lifetime, Ursula K. Le Guin. Each story takes you places you have never dreamed of, and truly makes you think about the world around you.

While there are some excellent stories in this volume, the editors excluded authors and stories because they didn't meet their politically correct feminist viewpoints... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine collection slightly flawed by ideology
This is a fine and thoughtful anthology of serious science fiction, compiled mainly by Ursula Le Guin, one of science fiction's finest and most thoughtful voices. Read more
