Greg Bear recommends

Stormland (2021)
John Shirley
"John Shirley's acerbic humor is a perfect match for his sense of doom and adventure. One of his best. Buckle in!"

Robot Artists and Black Swans (2021)
Bruce Sterling
"Sterling’s latest collection is rich and wide, a cross between Primo Levi and Jorge Luis Borges-with a touch of Philip K. Dick and William Gibson. I love it."

Venus Remembered (2020)
Ray Bradbury and Jason J Marchi
"Jason Marchi’s lovely story and loving tribute to one of our favorite writers."

Sea Change (2020)
Nancy Kress
"Sea Change is like liquid nitrogen ice cream - a chilling treat. Right next door to the future, filled with dark wit - a fine addition to Kress’s work."

Relic (2018)
Alan Dean Foster
"Relic is a thrilling and thoughtful epic. With Alan Dean Foster’s trademark invention in both the psychology and physiology of his aliens, he also enriches the narrative with their complex cultures. The plot spans galaxies!"

The Freeze-Frame Revolution (2018)
Peter Watts
"Fast, rich, and cool - The Freeze-Frame Revolution fascinates!"
