[****] ISBN: 0765305364
I got this in order to read the short story that inspired the current move The Last Mimzy. The story is "Mimsy Were the Borogroves" by Lewis Padgett (1943). It's pretty good, and indicative of the era. It raises interesting questions about nature verses nurture, sparingly told and barely framed within a time travel context. It will be interesting to see what the film makers have done with it.
As to the collection itself, if I didn't already have a couple of solid collections of short science fiction stories, I would be tempted to obtain a copy for my own library. These were chosen (a while ago) by the members of the Science Fiction Writers of America as a way to honor stories that were written before the society began bestowing the Nebula awards. I would love to, and probably should, read through the entire thing. But that will probably have to wait.
