“An essential treasury” of sci-fi short fiction including the story introducing the Heechee aliens of the Hugo, Nebula, and Campbell Award-winning Gateway (Booklist).

Acclaimed for his novels, Frederik Pohl is also a master of the science fiction short story. Now, for the first time, he has gathered together the best of his many stories in Platinum Pohl.

First published in the 1930s and spanning the decades, these tales are in their way a living history of science fiction. A keen observer of the human condition and the world that is shaped by it, Pohl’s stories reflect the currents of political movements, social trends, major events that have shaken the world. Yet at their core, all his stories are most acutely concerned with people.

Included are Pohl’s two Hugo Award–winning stories, “Fermi and Frost” and “The Meeting” (with C. M. Kornbluth), along with such classic novellas as the powerful “The Gold at the Starbow’s End” and “The Greening of Bed-Stuy,” as well as acclaimed stories as “Servant of the People,” “Shaffery Among the Immortals,” and “Growing Up in Edge City” and many more.

A wonderful collection of thought-provoking, entertaining science fiction by a Grand Master of Science Fiction award-winning author.

“These 30 stories stand out for their gritty, straightforward style and for their insightful ideas about our political, social and ecological future.” —Publisher Weekly
