Overview

Stories in the Stratosphere

Edited by Michael G. Bennett, Joey Eschrich and Ed Finn

This collection of science fiction stories, art, and speculative timelines explores the near future of the stratosphere. From "Star Trek" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" to "The Martian," great science fiction stories have shaped how we think about voyages into deep space — but what kinds of gripping confrontations and adventures might unfold in near space, above the clouds?

"Overview" features contributions from renowned science fiction authors David Brin, Tobias Buckell, Brenda Cooper, Carter Scholz, and Karl Schroeder, working in collaboration with illustrators, graphic designers, and experts in fields ranging from human spaceflight and signal processing to law and tourism.
