A third expansive volume drawn from the pages of the three-time Hugo Award-winning magazine Worlds of If, Worlds of If Super Pack #3 presents classic science fiction from one of the genre's most influential mid-century magazines.
Worlds of If was one of the important laboratories of twentieth-century science fiction, publishing established writers alongside emerging voices who would help define the field. The magazine won the Hugo Award for Best Professional Magazine three times and became known for stories that explored alien worlds, future societies, technological change, political anxiety, philosophical speculation, satire, and the strange possibilities of human adaptation. At a time when magazines were still the engine room of science fiction, If gave writers room to test ideas that were bold, entertaining, eccentric, unsettling, and ambitious.
This third Super Pack gathers a wide-ranging selection from that remarkable archive, including:
The Yillian Way by Keith Laumer
Homo Inferior by Mari Wolf
The Six Fingers of Time by R. A. Lafferty
Where There's Hope by Jerome Bixby
The Thing in the Attic by James Blish
The Worlds of Joe Shannon by Frank M. Robinson
Gambler's World by Keith Laumer
-and many more from the magazine's celebrated run.
Together, these stories capture the vitality of the period when science fiction magazines served as the primary laboratory of the genre, nurturing ideas and voices that continue to resonate.
