New Worlds 6

At the forefront of contemporary SF writing stands the controversial NEW WORLDS series. As a monthly British magazine, New Worlds was banned by South Africa, Australia, and many British newsdealers because of alleged obscenity. At the same time, praise from such distinguished writers as Angus Wilson, Anthony Burgess, and J. B. Priestley helped New Worlds win a major award for literary excellence for three years in a row.

This Equinox edition, like its predecessor, NEW WORLDS #5, affords discriminating American readers an opportunity to discover the qualities that gave New Worlds its reputation as Britain's most adventurous, exuberant, and uncompromising publication of new short fiction. Here are twenty-four vivid, thought-provoking, totally original visions by brilliant young writers whose prose and ideas herald the future of science fiction—and, indeed, of mankind.
