Description

Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine has published outstanding short fantasy and science fiction by leading authors for over 30 years. From its earliest days under the editorial direction of Isaac Asimov,Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine has maintained the tradition of publishing innovative, entertaining stories from award-winning authors and first-time writers alike. It is where George R. R. Martin’s Daenerys Targaryen first appeared on the printed page, where Kim Stanly Robinson first staked his claim on “Green Mars,” where Octavia E. Butler’s Hugo and Nebula Award winning short fiction were first published, and where the first professional fiction publications of Jonathan Lethem, Kelly Link, and Allen M. Steele appeared. Asimov's is home to many bestselling authors, including Connie Willis, Robert Silverberg, Mike Resnick, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Stephen Baxter, and many more. Asimov’s keeps readers informed about science fiction and fantasy through an editorial column, a web- focused column, insightful book reviews, and thought-provoking articles about science and science fiction. Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, featuring six 208-page double issues each year, continues to receive recognition for its outstanding stories, authors, and editors.

    • Makes your mind embrace the future
Asimov’s Science Fiction has always shined for excellence. It is a well paved road into possible futures (making even the most improbable appeared workable). A beacon of hope in the dark that nowadays gathers around us compromising too many aspects of our life. Silverberg’s reflections are always a real pleasure delving, as they often do, into the nook and crannies of past works that would otherwise remain, very likely, forgotten not to mention his personal, and enriching, experiences which he shares with us the readers. The “On Books” keeps abreast with what the field has to offer encompassing its multiple facets and branching into science itself besides. And the fans find in the “SF Conventional Calendar” the right arena to satisfy their desire to mingle and, whenever possible, meet the authors. ... show more

    • Fresh New Stories from Interesting SciFi Authors
I very much enjoyed having new stories to read. The online format allows me to enlarge the print to a size which is comfortable to read. The editorials are informative, the book reviews are interesting, and both are well written. They continue to place science fiction in the context of current events as well as the history of the genre. ... show more

    • Not a good choice for Kindle
The magazine is great, plenty of stories, worth the price ( but not in the Kindle format ) very difficult to use with Kindle ) one false move on your part and you spend a good amount of time trying to find your place. Does work much better with tablet format. Unable to use with kindle app on laptop.

    • Review of Jay O'Connell's novella "What We Hold Onto"
This is specifically a review of Jay O'Connell's splendid novella, "What We Hold Onto," not the Asimov's issue as a whole.... "What We Hold Onto" presents a layered and evocative vision of the future. Differences between our world and the story's future are unobtrusively threaded into the narrative. Some differences are large (climate change has already taken place); some medium (people can modify their bodies so that their skin displays images); some small (pet insurance has become hugely expensive). This mixture, together with the richness of the details, makes the world very real. More importantly, the characters are real, and the themes are human and heartfelt. The story speaks about loneliness, friendship, death, about being a parent and about watching your parents age, about holding onto the past and letting it go. The narrator's relationship with her two college-age sons particularly moved me. There is also a strong romance element, which I very much enjoyed. I didn't know why the man was so drawn to the narrator, perhaps because the narrator herself didn't know, but I cared about both of them, and willed them on toward what I hoped would be a happy ending. An excellent story. ... show more

    • well worth a look
I got Asimov's Science Fiction as a lark because I like sci fi novels and was curious about what was happening in the world of science fiction short stories. These stories are well-written. Some are very funny, others are poignant, all are imaginative. Overall I found them superior to the predictable, dull short fiction I find in many literary magazines these days. All these stories contain a charge. Very well worth reading. In particular, I suggest the magazine for anyone with a daily commute who needs reading matter--the stories are just about the right length and would definitely liven up the half-hour on the bus or train. ... show more

    • Good reading, awful format
Some very good stories inside, no issue here. But guys, seriously, it’s 2020. This is not how you distribute e-books. I get the long traditions of the journal, I do, but this not paper. This is read on the user’s device, and you don’t know the screen size or your reader’s preferences in advance. For example, I could only guess that this would be unreadable on the phone, which is how many people read nowadays. I read on my iPad, but even for me this is problematic. The fact that you hardcode linebreaks means that the text can only be displayed in thin columns, 2 in portrait and 3 (!) in landscape orientation. And if it’s true what people say in other comments, and the older issues simply get deleted from your reader’s library, than this is just ridiculous. I’m torn in regards to the grade I’m supposed to give here. 5 stars for the stories, 1 star for usability and giving a damn about your reader? An average of 3, I guess? ... show more

    • Excellent writers and editors
The mix of what has been and the introduction of that which is new enables the reader to appreciate the evolution of SF. One gets ideas like perhaps we should not be talking of "colonizing" Mars, rather have an independent Martian government established and functioning on Earth long before humans travel to that world. Perhaps the attitude would change from one of exploitation of Mars to the care and stewardship of Mars. ... show more

    • Great old style science fiction writing
I love this magazine. I did not know it was still in publication. It's like a throwback from the classic days of science fiction. Good reading and thoughtful variety. I highly recommend it.
