Short Stories
"...modern SF started with something like E.E. Smith's The Skylark of Space but progressed to Jack Williamson's The Legion of Space, then to Heinlein's Classics and on through the work of Larry Niven, John Varley, Greg Egan, Charles Stross, Cory Doctorow, and now writers like Ted Kosmatka..."
