Fantasy… Often, when this word is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is outer space—black and deep—with billions of stars, a spaceship, and a person in a spacesuit. But, as you know, fantasy can be found not only out there somewhere far and high—it can be discovered in a drop of blood, in the depths of a computer, and in relationships between people. This collection brings together not only the names of the patriarchs of science fiction, but also those who have been noticed in it relatively recently. And the themes of the collection directly reflect all the magnificence of the authors’ imagination: clones, robots, machines, time loops, apocalypses… Of course, it’s impossible to fit everything in, but the beginning is made.
So—forward toward adventures! Toward the horror lurking in the dark! Toward the gods! Toward alien and incomprehensible minds and cultures!
