Fantastic Stories Presents the Worlds of If Super Pack #2: A Positronic Book - Hardcover

by Vonnegut Jr. Kurt (Author)

Fantastic Stories Presents the Worlds of If Super Pack #2 a curated journey through one of the most important science fiction magazines of the twentieth century. Worlds of If was a three-time Hugo Award winner for Best Professional Magazine, and its pages helped introduce, develop, and preserve the work of writers who would become central to modern science fiction. This second Worlds of If volume gathers another wide-ranging selection from the magazine's remarkable run: robots, colonies, alien worlds, time paradoxes, space adventure, strange inventions, uneasy futures, and the restless speculative energy.

This Super Pack includes stories by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Mark Clifton, Mari Wolf, Charles L. Fontenay, Kenneth O'Hara, Charles V. De Vet, R. A. Lafferty, Horace B. Fyfe, Don Thompson, Lynn Venable, Winston Marks, Arnold Castle, Tom Godwin, Sam Merwin, Jr., Kris Neville, Lester del Rey, Robert J. Shea, Albert Teichner, William Campbell Gault, Charles E. Fritch, E. E. "Doc" Smith, E. Everett Evans, Gene Hunter, Arthur G. Hill, Richard O. Lewis, Keith Laumer, Alan E. Nourse, Frank M. Robinson, and many more. From Vonnegut's sharply imagined "2BR02B" to Lynn Venable's unforgettable "Time Enough At Last," from R. A. Lafferty's eccentric brilliance to Keith Laumer's hard-driving speculative adventure, this collection offers a substantial cross-section of vintage science fiction at its most inventive, entertaining, and surprising. Explore other exciting Positronic Books devoted to classic science fiction, fantasy, and mystery.
