Pohlstars

SFWA Grand Master Frederik Pohl, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner, offers a dozen possible diverse futures in this collection of stories written with his usual acerbic wit and authoritative command of cutting-edge science. Meet a man who is well paid to experience both exhilarating experiences, and morbidly depressing ones, while unknown buyers electronically share his emotions. Follow a boy who has never before seen the world outside of a sealed-environment city and has to survive in the strange and deadly new environment. And more, including a short novel of the gigantic seafaring ships of the future—and what happens when the owner dies, and his landlubber business partner must take on responsibilities completely outside his experience.
