Some famous names, some not so well known, but all of top quality. A terrific read, ideal for on holiday. Thanks 😊 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***I on 7 May 2021* Not every story included here is a winner, but overall this is one of the best such collections I've run across. The author list is a who's who of notable writers, from H.G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling to Ursula K. Le Guin all the way to William Gibson and George R.R. Martin. These stories are not of the light variety, and more than one present alternate visions of how the world as we know it ends. "The Screwfly Solution" was particularly creepy and probably my personal favorite. You're sure to find something you like here. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/489695063-the-oxford-book-of-science-fiction-stories](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/489695063-the-oxford-book-of-science-fiction-stories) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
