Worlds of If was one of the great proving grounds of mid-century science fiction, a three-time Hugo Award winner that helped introduce, develop, and showcase writers who would shape the future of the field. This massive Super Pack collects more than 250,000 words of classic science fiction from the pages of Worlds of If, bringing together adventure, satire, space opera, future war, alien contact, social speculation, strange science, and some of the sharpest short fiction of the magazine era.
Inside are stories by many of the writers who defined science fiction's golden and post-golden age, including Philip K. Dick, Harry Harrison, Gordon R. Dickson, Jack Vance, James H. Schmitz, R. A. Lafferty, Fritz Leiber, Keith Laumer, E. E. Doc Smith, Alan E. Nourse, Randall Garrett, Mark Clifton, H. B. Fyfe, and many more. From dangerous inventions and alien worlds to military futures, comic reversals, psychological twists, and pulp-powered adventure, this collection captures the range and energy that made Worlds of If one of the most memorable magazines in the genre.
