Nebula Awards #28: SFWA’s Choices for the Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year by James Morrow
Requirements: .PDF reader, 11 mb
Overview: In surveying the finalists for the 1992 Nebula Awards, James Morrow notes that the vast majority of the fiction implicitly or explicitly grapples with the question, is science good or bad? Gregory Benford, for example, offers a glimpse into the rarefied world of research physicists; Kim Stanley Robinson shows how scientists can become prey to hoaxes from without and wishful thinking from within; S. N. Dyer probes the problem of doctors’ fallibility; and Michael Bishop explores the cryptic condition known as schizophrenia. The three Nebula-winning authors add their own voices to this robust discourse: Connie Willis on the presumed repressiveness of medical intervention, James Morrow on the dangers implicit in New Age pseudoscience, and Pamela Sargent (in “Danny Goes to Mars”) on the scientific illiteracy of a recent U.S. vice president.
Nebula Awards 28 will reward not only science-fiction readers but readers of science and fiction as well.
