Asimov's Science Fiction - January/February 2025

この問題で

Our January/February 2025 issue starts the new year off with an exciting jolt. We have a huge new novella from James Patrick Kelly. “Moon and Mars” is a harrowing story about a group of young people who will soon crew an interstellar starship through a wormhole—unless complex human relationships or unsettling Earthly politics intervene!

Robert Reed returns with a Great Ship tale about “A Girl from Hong Kong”; Jendayi Brooks-Flemister offers us a situation that is anything but “Completely Normal”; Siobhan Carroll takes us on a journey in which birds spy, humans and aliens are unreliable, and “In the Splinterlands the Crows Fly Blind”; new author Nikki Braziel uses spaceships, time travel, and future technology to create “Through the Pinhole, or, the Origin of a Holostory”; another author new to Asimov’s, Beston Barnett, gives us an unsettling story about a scientist fighting an AI for survival that reveals “What the Frog’s Eye Tells the Frog’s Brain”; Matthew Kressel, who’s also new to the magazine, shoots us “Five Hundred KPH Toward Heaven”; Rick Wilber splits the timeline with “Jilly in Right”; as does Frank Ward with his bittersweet story about the “Shadow of Shadows”; and Faith Merino’s disturbing take on “My Biggest Fan” is as complicated as a Robert A. Heinlein tale.

Robert Silverberg’s Reflections whisks us back in time with “Uintatherium, I Dream of Thee”; James Patrick Kelly’s On the Net welcomes us to “The Zoo Hypothesis”; Peter Heck’s On Books considers works by Rebecca Roanhorse, Laura Anne Gilman, Michael Swanwick, and others; Kelly Lagor’s Thought Experiment continues her three-part look at Stanley Kubrick films with a viewing of “The Impossible Spectacle of 2001: A Space Odyssey”; plus we’ll have an array of poetry you’re sure to enjoy.
