Reviews

Contemplative rather than showy and lurid - editor Wade Roush specifically banned dystopian tales from the book - Twelve Tomorrows will certainly provide food for thought....There's enough here to make us wonder - probably not for the first or, indeed, the last item - if drone technology, the Internet, and the quest for true artificial intelligence are really all we tend to make them out to be.

--Starbust

This MIT Technology Review anthology is a science-fictional exploration of emergent technologies and a veritable constellation of brilliant writers, among them Liu Cixin, Ken Liu, Alastair Reynolds, Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Pinsker... A profile of esteemed sci-fi author Samuel R. Delany is included. 'Hard' sci-fi at its best.

--Nature

As a fictional primer on potential near-futures, [Twelve Tomorrows] is impressive.

--SFX

Probably the best science fiction anthology of the year.

--Jonathan Strahan, introduction to The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year
