PRAISE FOR GOLDEN AGE SF: TALES OF A BYGONE FUTURE "What a marvelous idea for a book! . . . By letting such modern masters as Stephen Baxter and G. David Nordley, plus top-of-the-line newcomers like Tobias Buckell and Paul E. Martens, write as if they'd been writing in John W. Campbell's heydey, Eric Reynolds has produced one of the most original and entertaining anthologies in years, with plenty of that old-time sense of wonder. Bravo!" -- Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids. "One would expect a collection of new 'Golden Age' stories to lean toward nostalgia and 'retro' (whatever that is), but in Eric Reynolds' GOLDEN AGE SF: TALES OF A BYGONE FUTURE, readers will find ingenious matings of Golden Age sense with 21st Century sensibilities of what our future was supposed to look like. It is a fine collection of visions and reflections that demonstrate how science fiction as a written form may have expanded and diversified -- but the apples haven't really rolled too far from the tree. There's enough variety here -- and a quality, of stories and authors -- to suggest to the reader that our 'Golden Age' has never really ended. We take our 'Golden Age' with us, because science fiction is as much a state of mind as it is a literature. And this delightful anthology of dramatic, funny, tragic and triumphant fiction is good evidence that, if anything, our Golden Age is now." -- Richard Chwedyk, Nebula Award-winning author of "Bronte's Egg."
