Something exciting has been happening in modern SF. After decades of confusion, many of the field's best writers have been returning to the subgenre called, roughly, "hard SF"-science fiction focused on science and technology, often with strong adventure plots. Now, World Fantasy Award-winning editors David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer present an immense, authoritative anthology that maps the development and modern-day resurgence of this form, argues for its special virtues and present preeminence-and entertains us with some spectacular storytelling along the way.

Included are major stories by contemporary and classic names such as Poul Anderson, Stephen Baxter, Gregory Benford, Ben Bova, David Brin, Arthur C. Clarke, Hal Clement, Greg Egan, Joe Haldeman, Nancy Kress, Paul McAuley, Frederik Pohl, Alastair Reynolds, Kim Stanley Robinson, Robert J. Sawyer, Karl Schroeder, Charles Sheffield, Brian Stableford, Allen Steele, Bruce Sterling, Michael Swanwick, and Vernor Vinge.

The Hard SF Renaissance will be an anthology that SF readers return to for years to come.

Industry Reviews

"Read The Hard SF Renaissance for Hartwell and Cramer's introductions, read it to prove to yourself that the field has managed to find its roots and reach for the stars at the same time, or read it for the pure enjoyment of SF written 'with the net up', but definitely go out and read it." "The best reprint anthology of the decade so far." We are in the hands of a loving expert. "John Updike on The World Treasury of SF"" "We are in the hands of a loving expert." --John Updike on The World Treasury of SF
