Modern CLassics of Science Fiction (1992) Anthology by Gardner Dozois (ed. MadMaxAU)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.8Mb
Overview: "… The best stories, in fact, seem essentially to be timeless. (We’re still reading the Odyssey, aren’t we?) A good story is like a benign virus—even when it originates in the minds of men and women long years dead, it can reach across the abyss of the grave, across thousands of miles of distance and hundreds of years of time, across every barrier of custom or prejudice or age, and, touching a living mind, infect that mind with the dream at its heart… can leave the one that it infects with dreaming shaken and changed forever, forever dizzy and raddled with a vision that came to them from outside the fortress self, burning up with the fever of dreams. And then they may touch someone else…
Long years from now, long after everyone in this anthology or involved with it have gone to dust, the stories here may still touch someone, and cause that person touched to blink, and put the book down for a second, and stare off through the hollow air, and shiver in wonder…"
