A Science Fiction Omnibus by Brian Aldiss torrent

This is the updated (2007) edition of "The Penguin Science Fiction Omnibus" (1973) with some stories removed, some added. Author and editor Brian Aldiss has updated his introduction, which now makes mention of the events of 9/11.

This edition of Aldiss' classic anthology brings together a diverse selection of science fiction spanning more than sixty years, from Isaac Asimov's "Nightfall", first published in 1941, to the 2006 story "Friends in Need" by Eliza Blair. Including authors such as Clifford Simak, Harry Harrison, Bruce Sterling, A. E. Van Vogt and Brian Aldiss himself, these stories portray struggles against machines, epic journeys, genetic experiments, time travellers and alien races.

From stories set on Earth, to uncanny far distant worlds and ancient burned-out suns, the one constant is humanity itself, compelled by an often fatal curiosity to explore the boundless frontiers of time, space and probability.
