Couldn't load pickup availability
One hundred miniature speculative detonations, edited by Isaac Asimov, Martin Harry Greenberg and Joseph D. Olander.
The focus is the very short form — stories built around a single conceit, reversal, cosmic joke, philosophical sting, or compact little science-fictional trapdoor. The contributor list is stacked with classic and cult names: Larry Niven, Roger Zelazny, Robert Sheckley, Alfred Bester, C. M. Kornbluth, George R. R. Martin, Damon Knight, Fritz Leiber, Ben Bova, Frederik Pohl, James Gunn, Henry Slesar, Robert Silverberg-ish adjacent anthology energy, and plenty of lesser-known pulp/genre oddities.
This is good for readers who like SF in compressed form: thought experiments, punchlines, weird machines, tiny apocalypses, aliens, time tricks, future bureaucracy, galactic irony, and stories that try to do in three pages what some novels fail to do in three hundred.
