"Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Fritz Leiber, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip José Farmer, Kurt Vonnegut, Roger Zelazny, Frederick Pohl, Harlan Ellison, Larry Niven, Ursula K. Le Guin.From the depths of the earth to the farthest stars, from the day before yesterday to the end of time, here are magnificent tales of space and time by 36 masters of science fiction. From Robert A. Heinlein's mind-twisting story of the ultimate paradox to Clifford Simak's vision of "man's" conquest of Jupiter; from Theodore Sturgeon's tale of the day after atomic holocaust to Hal Clement's alternate life form below the earth's surface; from Harlan Ellison's computerized hell to Jjoanna Russ's world of women invaded by men for the first time in centuries... From Analog and Fantasy & Science Fiction through the new wave "revolution" and right up to the present day, The Road To Science Fiction #3 offers a spectacular tour of worlds to come and of those that might have been, complete with humans, aliens and machines to guide us along the way."
