Description
James Tiptree Jr, the pen name of Alice Bradley Sheldon, is widely considered to be one of the most influential American genre writers ever, and a pioneer of feminist science fiction. 10,000 Light Years from Home, her brilliant debut collection, displays all her trademark humour, intensity and originality, with dark dystopian thrills, fast-paced intergalactic satire and hardboiled tales of alien invasion. A startling and unforgettable depiction of humanity's experience among the stars, the collection includes some of Tiptree's most powerful stories- 'And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill's Side', 'The Man Who Walked Home' and 'Beam Us Home'.

Like most collections a lot of very good stories, and a few mediocre ones. One story alone justifies buying the entire book 'And I Awoke and Found Me Here on the Cold Hill's Side'; one of the very rare completely original looks at alien-human contact.

This was my first book by Tiptree. I have mixed feelings about this book. She is writes in many styles. She has a habit of titling her stories with an idea that gives you no clue about the story itself. Lots of interesting short stories that are vastly different from each other.

The groundbreaking and fantastical tales of Alice B. Sheldon, written under the pen name James Tiptree Jr., are some of the best science fiction short stories of the twentieth century, depicting dystopian chases, alien sex, and the loneliness of the universe.
