<p>The best edition of <a href="/tags/asimovssciencefiction/" rel="tag">#AsimovsScienceFiction</a> magazine since I started my subscription a year ago? Great variety of <a href="/tags/scifi/" rel="tag">#SciFi</a> subgenres, from a remarkable surrealist piece by K. A. Teryna (translated by Alex Shvartsman)*, to the text of a children&#x27;s &#x27;nonfiction&#x27; book about UFOs by Will Ludwigsen**. My other favourites were a very funny satirical alien invasion story by Alexander Jablokov, and a moving story by William Preston which continues the magazine&#x27;s recent mini-trend of exploring the lives of the future&#x27;s pet dogs.</p><p>* &quot;I was riding the metro in the morning when I vomited sparrows. They say one should always look on the bright side. Well, I could now describe in detail what a person who threw up a flock of sparrows onto the ground feels like. Except I don&#x27;t think anyone would want to know those details.&quot;<br>** &quot;Adults don&#x27;t build forts in the woods. Nor do they make helmets from the bottoms of plastic soda bottles so their stuffed animals will be safe from falling Skylab debris. Nor do they make their own comic books or mix every flavour at the soda dispenser to see if one of the mixtures will explode. In other words, they&#x27;re effectively dead and too boring for aliens to travel thousands of light-years to visit.&quot;</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a></p>
