Engineering Infinity

Engineering Infinity by Jonathan Strahan. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781907519512.

The universe shifts and changes: suddenly you understand, you get it, and are filled with a sense of wonder. That moment of understanding drives the greatest science-fiction stories and lies at the heart of Engineering Infinity. Whether its coming up hard against the speed of light and, with it, the enormity of the universe, realising that terraforming a distant world is harder and more dangerous than youd ever thought, or simply realizing that a hitchhiker on a starship consumes fuel and oxygen with tragic results, its hard science-fiction where sense of wonder is most often found and where science-fictions true heart lies. The exciting and innovative science-fiction anthology collects together stories by some of the biggest names in the field including Stephen Baxter, Charles Stross, Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Gwyneth Jones.
