In the early part of this decade, Orson Scott Card edited Future on Fire, a compendium of exciting stories by the hottest writers of the 1980s. Now, finally, he brings us Future on Ice: a companion anthology of stories that will freeze you in your tracks; and change the way you think. Here are early stories from widely varied and immensely talented authors who have since shattered the face of science fiction, including work by Nancy Kress, Gregory Benford, Octavia E. Butler, Lewis Shiner, Karen Joy Fowler, Greg Bear, David Zindell, John Crowley, and George R.R. Martin.
