"Science fiction is the characteristic literary genre of the century. It is the genre that stands in opposition to literary modernism." So says David G.

Hartwell is a World Fantasy Award-winning editor and anthologist who has twice before redefined a genre--first the horror field with The Dark Descent, then the subgenre of hard science fiction with The Ascent of Wonder, coedited with Kathryn Cramer.
