THE PENGUIN WORLD OMNIBUS OF SCIENCE FICTION

From China to Chile, Africa to North America - science fiction from all four corners of the globe, and beyond...

Each story in this volume is dramatically different, vividly "other". The mystery of the disappearing lunatics, a clever computer crime, a semianthropological legend from Japan, erotic fancy ... the choise is yours: spoil yourself with this galactic confection - as delicious as it is diverse.
