New Dimensions 4

This is the fourth in a series of annual collections dedicated to presenting the most striking and original science-fiction of our time. No stories in New Dimensions have ever been published before. The authors range from brilliant newcomers to experienced veterans; the one thing they have in common is a desire to break new ground, to discover new ways of approaching the body of ideas, images, and concepts that is science fiction. Old formulas and weary cliches are unwelcome here; New Dimensions looks for writers whose visions are exciting and unique. New Dimensions isedited by Robert Silverberg, himself one of science-fiction's best-known writers, author of suchnovels as The World Inside, A Time of Changes, and Downward to the Earth. Mr. Silverberg has won science fiction's prized Hugo and Nebula awards a number of times and is a past president of the Science Fiction Writers of America.
