The New Solaris Book of Science Fiction

Solaris Rising 2 showcases the finest new science fiction from both celebrated authors and the most exciting of emerging writers. Following in the footsteps of the critically-acclaimed first volume, editor Ian Whates has once again gathered together a plethora of thrilling and daring talent. Within you will find unexplored frontiers as well as many of the central themes of the genre â?? alien worlds, time travel, artificial intelligence â?? made entirely new in the telling. The authors here prove once again why SF continues to be the most innovative, satisfying, and downright exciting genre of all.

Another solid and diverse collection of contemporary science fiction. ( )
  chaosfox | Feb 22, 2019 |
An adequate but unremarkable collection. The one story that really stood out for me was Nick Harkaway's "The Time Gun". ( )
  SChant | Jun 19, 2016 |
Paul Cornell - Tom

In a near future of friendly humanoid aquatic aliens arriving, this a tale of romance with one of them...

Nancy Kress - More

Rather forced tale of a daughter turning against her inventor father, mainly because his invention is unlikely...

James Lovegrove - Shall inherit

With the world ending soon, because of terrorism, a very unlikely emergency space program is set up....

Adrian Tchaikovsky - Feast and famine

A mission is scrambled when contact is lost with an expedition investigating 'anchorites', a quasi-lifeform.

Eugie Foster - Whatever skin you wear

Neat tale of the effects of a blip in a very networked future...

Neil Williamson - Pearl in the shell

A satirical take on the future of copyrighted music...

Nick Harkaway - The time gun

A burglar at a research lab gets 'shot' by a very strange gun..

Kristine Kathryn Rusch - When Thomas Jefferson dined alone

Being able to view the past opens up the study of history but may have side-effects...

Robert Reed - Bonds

Story is about a reclusive youth who turns into a global cult leader. But the expected path is not taken....

Allen Steele - Ticking

In a future where robots are commonplace, all digital devices fail, causing chaos, and robots turn on humans.

Kim Lakin-Smith - Before Hope

A grizzled trader gives a girl the chance of a new life off the backwoods planet of her birth - cliched.

Kay Kenyon - The spires of Greme

Rather daft scenario of survivors living in isolated flying ships because of a human-engineered 'green plague' that turned the biosphere against humanity. And yet despite of all this there is romance!

Mercurio D. Rivera - Manmade

An AI decides it does not want to pretend to be a human anymore...Idea is good but not much is made of it.

Martin Sketchley - The circle of least confusion

Awful cliched story about an alien gadget which can control time falling into human hands via an encounter with a 'ufo'...

Norman Spinrad - Far distant suns

Monologue from a far-future human who has pioneered an odd approach to space exploration.

Liz Williams - The lighthouse

Generations of women have served as guardians of the lighthouse against ruthless aliens but this iteration of the pattern comes to a new ending...

Martin McGrath - The first dance

An old man wants access to an earlier happy memory of his but copyrighted material is present...

Mike Allen - Still life with skull

Weird cyberpunk/fantasy milieu in which powerful individuals clash. Tries too hard.

Vandana Singh - With fate conspire

Strange, but moving, tale of a small group of scientists trying to change reality to avoid global disaster. The viewpoint character is an ordinary woman who sees the past.... ( )

There were some good stories, and science fiction is not dead. Yadda yadda.

The first story, or one that was very close to first, ruined a perfectly good story with a completely frivolous, unnecessary use of the word 'tranny'. :P

A story shortly after that was all about sending kids with Asperger's into space to save the human race. It made no sense whatsoever. And while I am not on the autism spectrum or know anyone very closely who is, it struck me as not a very good portrayal. Very Othering.

Another story just past the middle (I checked, because I know the weakest stories are usually in the middle) was so completely long-winded and boring. It needed serious editing. Like, more than half of it could've gone and it would've been such a better, tighter story. Still not all that great, but better.

More men than women in the antho. ( )
