The short story format is proving a resiliant medium for the thriving world of modern science ... [+] fiction.
Science fiction has enjoyed plenty of critical and mainstream love in recent years. 2019 has seen new seasons from hit shows like Stranger Things and Black Mirror , new bestselling novels such as Margaret Atwood's The Testaments , and breakout blockbusters ranging from standalone films like Ad Astra to an upcoming Star Wars installment.
But the power of short stories is a perhaps more unexpected phenomenon in modern speculative fiction.

But in another of the event's three conversations, sci-fi author and associate professor Lee Konstantinou, whose story "Burned-Over Territory" was included in Future Tense Fiction , said that he "understands the bias towards dystopia" for storytellers, but believes that examining ordinary human conflicts in future worlds can be just as interesting! 1:48:54 Short Science Fiction Collection 027 | Various | Anthologies, Science Fiction | English | 2/3 YouTube!!

Best Fantasy Book Series and Sci Fi Book Series of All Time - Thrillist
The sheer number of new science-fiction and fantasy books published in any given year can be overwhelming, and it doesn't help matters that both genres are so series-heavy. We've done the hard work for you and rounded up the 21 best science fiction fantasy series of all time, in no particular order.
For the sake of tidiness (and our own sanity), we've limited this list to series that include at least three books, and that are either completely finished or have no further books currently planned (so, no A Song of Fire and Ice ), or have at least one finished multi-book story arc within the larger series (for instance, the Farseer Trilogy is a completed series within the Realm of the Elderlings series).

Including: Consider Phlebas , The Player of Games , Use of Weapons , The State of the Art
If we have to say more than "utopian socialism on sentient spaceships" to sell you on this series, it may not be for you, but give it a shot anyway, won't you? Banks started the Culture series at a time when space opera was considered facile and passé, and took full advantage of that attitude to reinvent and revitalize the genre, offering a smart, playful, and often stylistically flashy subversion of space opera tropes wrapped around a core of radical politics.
The weird, the wacky, the underappreciated: A new look at science fiction and fantasy - The
Even 10 years ago, the fields of science fiction and fantasy were still overwhelmingly American and white. And, if you grew up speaking Spanish in Mexico City, (as I, Silvia, did), or Hebrew on a small kibbutz in Israel (as I, Lavie, did), it meant that the world of science fiction, filtered through translation, was as remote and alien as the other side of the moon. The very idea we could be writing novels like these seemed, well, fantastical.
Yet, somehow, here we are. The past decade has seen the science-fiction world change as more international voices enthusiastically jumped into the fray. Now, wonderful writers including Malaysian Zen Cho can write smart, funny fantasies such as "Sorcerer to the Crown"; after years of struggle, Nigerian Tade Thompson's ambitious Africa-set novel, "Rosewater," was published to wide acclaim and recently won the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award; and Chinese author Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem," translated by Ken Liu, has become a bestseller and even has a recommendation from former president Barack Obama.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Science fiction like caravans pique observers interest
The science-fiction-esque scene has unfolded close to a dozen times over the past few weeks during the pre-dawn hours of the morning in communities from Canton to Lansing: Suburban intersections along Haggerty Road are shut down temporarily by Michigan State Police escorts who are guiding massive vehicles hauling ominous-looking, missile-shaped, tarp-covered objects.
What's under the mystery-cloaking tarp? Nuclear weapons? Toxic waste headed to Michigan from Ohio? Defense-focused torpedoes?

Made in China, the generators are so huge that their route to the Lansing Board of Water & Light's new Delta Energy Park site is restricted to surface streets — a logistical, um, challenge that required the moving company to attain permits from each of the counties through which they travel.
"They're too tall and too wide to go no the highways, so they travel along Haggerty and then, once they get to I-96, they turn west on Grand River and take that to Lansing, from what I understand," said Oakland County Road Commission spokesperson Craig Bryson.
'Gemini Man' And The Case For Another Super Soldier Movie - ScienceFiction.com
What if we could create the perfect soldier? He would always follow orders, never question leaders, never feel pain nor feel tired and he would not age-- A super-soldier-- ‘Gemini Man’ raises this question in Will Smith’s latest movie.
I went there, on a date, not really expecting anything. I did have the general idea that the younger version of Henry Brogan was his clone. But I was intrigued. So, was my date--
The premise is essentially the kind of problems that contract elite snipers – mercenaries, for that fact – face when they are trying to leave the business or change career: They make enemies and for someone as elite as Henry Brogan – Will Smith’s character – that comes with the increased pressure posed by advanced technology, surveillance, and yes, the very fantastical notion of human cloning with all its ethical implications. Brogan wants out, but the government program, the DIA, will not let it happen so easily--
