Description

For twenty years, Terry Bisson published a regular "This Month in History" column in the science fiction magazine Locus. Tomorrowing collects these two decades of memorable events, four a month, each set in a totally different, imaginary yet possible, inevitable yet avoidable future. From the first AI President to the first dog on Mars, to the funeral of Earth's last glacier, it's speculative SF at its most (and least) serious. Collected as a series for the first time, Tomorrowing will amuse, alarm, intrigue, and entertain, and like science fiction itself, make readers think. Bisson's short stories have won every major award in science fiction, including the Hugo and Nebula; but never, ever, anything for this series.

About the Author
Terry Bisson is an award-winning science fiction writer and the author of numerous novels and story collections, including Fire on the Mountain, Bears Discover Fire, and In the Upper Room.

Reviews
"Much like Samuel Beckett, Terry Bisson's fiction got more and more compressed as he aged, until it came to these short stories, which are amazing, hilarious, deep. Tomorrowing is one of the greatest story collections in American literature. Read it and see what I mean." -- Kim Stanley Robinson

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
