Edited with meticulous care and accompanied by an illuminating introduction and notes, this anthology presents a sweeping panorama of the genre's finest short works, gathering celebrated voices whose imaginations reshaped the boundaries of human possibility.\n\nDamon Knight — himself a towering figure in the science fiction world as both a writer and critic — brings an authoritative editorial hand to this collection, curating stories that chronicle humanity's evolving relationship with technology, the cosmos, and the unknown. His incisive notes and contextual framing transform the anthology into far more than a mere gathering of tales; it becomes a guided tour through a century of speculative thought, illuminating the genre's roots while highlighting the startling prescience of its greatest practitioners. For anyone who has ever gazed at the stars and wondered, this collection will leave them hungry for more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203185909979,"sku":"2026200015016-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cfb22754-5e33-42ab-bbc1-057ab536b314.png?v=1788145183","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015016-secondhand-a-century-of-science-fiction","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
