Contemplative rather than showy and lurid – editor Wade Roush
specifically banned dystopian tales from the book - Twelve
Tomorrows will certainly provide food for thought….There's enough
here to make us wonder – probably not for the first or, indeed, the
last item – if drone technology, the Internet, and the quest for
true artificial intelligence are really all we tend to make them
out to be.—Starbust
This MIT Technology Review anthology is a science-fictional
exploration of emergent technologies and a veritable constellation
of brilliant writers, among them Liu Cixin, Ken Liu, Alastair
Reynolds, Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Pinsker… A profile of esteemed
sci-fi author Samuel R. Delany is included. 'Hard' sci-fi at its
best.—Nature
As a fictional primer on potential near-futures, [Twelve Tomorrows]
is impressive.—SFX
Probably the best science fiction anthology of the year.—Jonathan
Strahan, introduction to The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of
the Year
