Just opened the new Connie WIllis anthology and am reading the introduction.
Here's what she found in the library when she scanned the shelves for the genre sticker with "a spaceship and an atom on it":
"Stories about robots and time-travelers and aliens, and stories about the cold equations of the physical universe and the hidden costs of technological advance, about the endless difficulty of determining what a human is--and how to be one. Science fiction in all her infinite variety, spread out like a feast in front of me."
Well, that's what I love about sf, and what I love about the public library!
