Bridging Infinity (5) (The Infinity Project)
by Karen Lord, Charlie Jane Anders, Stephen Baxter, Alastair Reynolds, Gregory Benford, Larry Niven, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Paul Doherty, Pat Murphy, Pat Cadigan, Tobias S. Buckell, Ken Liu, Karin Lowachee, Thoraiya Dyer, Robert Reed, Pamela Sargent, Allen M. Steele, An Owomoyela
Building Towards Tomorrow
Sense of wonder is the lifeblood of science fiction. When we encounter something on a truly staggering scale – metal spheres wrapped around stars, planets rebuilt and repurposed, landscapes re-engineered, starships bigger than worlds – the only response we have is reverence, admiration, and possibly fear at something that is grand, sublime, and extremely powerful.
Bridging Infinity puts humanity at the heart of that experience, as builder, as engineer, as adventurer, reimagining and rebuilding the world, the solar system, the galaxy and possibly the entire universe in some of the best science fiction stories you will experience.
Bridging Infinity continues the award-winning Infinity Project series of anthologies with new stories from Alastair Reynolds, Pat Cadigan, Stephen Baxter, Charlie Jane Anders, Tobias S.Buckell, Karen Lord, Karin Lowachee, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Gregory Benford, Larry Liven, Robert Reed, Pamela Sargent, Allen Steele, Pat Murphy, Paul Doherty, An Owomoyela, Thoraiya Dyer and Ken Liu.
