Paolo Bacigalupi. The Alchemist. (Subterranean Press, 2011).

A handsome chapbook from Subterranean Press, the content matching the presentation. amazon.com | amazon.co.uk

Charles Stross. Bit Rot. (Engineering Infinity).

It’s way too long since I read a short SF story from Stross, and this fits the bill nicely.

Hannu Rajaniemi. The Server and the Dragon. (Engineering Infinity, 2011).

Far-future far-distant post-human hard SF. Clever stuff!

Tanith Lee. Black Fire. (Lightspeed Magazine #8, January 2011).

Cleverly written, in the form of three witness statements from couples relating almost identical events.

Stephen Baxter. The Invasion of Venus. (Engineering Infinity.)

Another in a series of recent Baxter stories in which challenges to the future of humanity are seen through the lens of one or two individuals in a rural English setting.

Asimovs. December 2010.

Emshwiller and Genge the pick of the bunch, but not a vintage bunch.

A ‘long-awaited’ followup to an Ace Double written some 40 years ago.
