- pcmaffey 6y agoEspecially so for sci-fi. As Gibson put it, the short story is the quintessential form of sci-fi.
- jyrkesh 6y agoIf I wanted to get into these now, could you recommend any particular magazines (title and/or vintage) or time periods that are good starting points?
- bokchoi 6y agoI enjoyed the long running "Asimov's Science Fiction" and "Analog Science Fiction and Fact" the most, but the newer "Clarkesworld" was also quite good. If you'd prefer a large tome, go for "The Year's Best Science Fiction" by Gardner Dozois. Ooh, and can't forget http://escapepod.org/ http://escapepod.org/
- meheleventyone 6y agoThe Year's Best Science Fiction and really all the collections edited by Gardner Dozois are fantastic. Sadly he died but there are years and years and years of great selections.
