Sex with Strangers

“Sex with Strangers” is one of the brightest, strongest, and boldest thematic sci-fi anthologies from the turn of the 1980s–1990s, featuring unusual, provocative stories that stand out for their memorable variety. A little more than half of all the pieces were written specifically for this anthology (Scott Baker, K.W. Jeter, Lisa Tuttle, Lewis Shiner, Jeff Ryman, Pat Murphy, etc.), while the rest are reprints (H. Ellison, F. Farmer, J. Tiptree Jr., Lee Kennedy, Connie Willis, etc.). The book also includes an essay by Larry Niven and a foreword by William Gibson.
