We’ve gathered several visionary science fiction authors in a collection of volumes published by Everyman’s Library and Library of America, with custom-designed jackets that feature a futuristic landscape in a complementary palette of blue and orange. Every story in this set gives readers a front-row seat into the future and offers keen satire the way only science fiction can.

Elizabeth Lane, the co-author of For the Love of Books: Designing and Curating a Home Library, serves as curator for our BESO: Contemporary Fiction program. Each month, Elizabeth dives deep into the world of recently published fiction to bring you a diverse mix of authors and stories. As an added bonus, your book will arrive with discussion questions to keep the conversation going.
