We’ve stuffed two huge novellas into Asimov’s January/
February 2023 issue. Norman Spinrad elevates us into the “Up and Out” with a plan for taking humanity into interstellar space. David Ira Cleary returns us to Earth for a coming-of-age story about “My Year as a Boy.” These thoughtful tales contain vividly imagined futures. They are not to be missed!

Peter Wood recounts “The Less Than Divine Invasion”; an unusual therapist treats difficult patients in Tochi Onyebuchi’s “Jamais Vue”; well established, but new to Asimov’s, Karen Heuler offers us a disquieting look at “Alien Housing”; Ramsey Shehadeh, another author new to Asimov’s, offers a tricky tale about “Cigarettes and Coffee”; and our third new author, T.K. Rex, uncovers “The Roots in the Box and the Roots in the Bones”; Dominica Phetteplace reveals that “What We Call Science, They Call Treason”; Rudy Rucker plunges us into the wild world of the “Tooniverse Tele¬marketer”: and Genevieve Williams’s lovely “Woman of the River” is a generations-spanning tale told in six pages.

Robert Silverberg’s Reflections bids “Farewell to the Vinland Map”; James Patrick Kelly’s On the Net dishes on “Your Probable, Plausible, Possible Lunch”; Kelly Lagor’s Thought Experiment looks at “The Showing and Telling of Metropolis and Fritz Lang,” and Norman Spinrad’s On Books considers works “Outside the Tent” by Sequoia Nagamatsu, Andy Weir, John Elizabeth Stintzi, and Anthony Doerr.
