The stories of Alice Sheldon, who wrote as James Tiptree Jr. (Up the Walls of the World) until her death in 1987, have been heretofore available mostly in out-of-print collections.

Thus the 18 accomplished stories here will be welcomed by new listeners and old fans.

”The Screwfly Solution” describes a chilling, elegant answer to the population problem.

In ”Love Is the Plan the Plan Is Death,” the title tells the tale - species survival insured by imprinted drives - but the story’s force is in its exquisite, lyrical prose and its suggestion that personal uniqueness is possible even within biological imperatives.

”The Girl Who Was Plugged In” is a future boy-meets-girl story with a twist unexpected by the players.

”The Women Men Don’t See” displays Tiptree’s keen insight and ability to depict singularity within the ordinary.

In Hugo and Nebula award-winning ”Houston, Houston, Do You Read?” astronauts flying by the sun slip forward 500 years and encounter a culture that successfully questions gender roles in ours.
