      About the Book

      From the most celebrated editor in science fiction comes an anthology of stories about the persecution of scientists. Each of the thirteen tales depicts the struggle to make progress against the dead blank wall of superstition and fear, showing how scientists struggle toward the truth in spite of opposition from religious and political forces arrayed against them, from the Inquisition to the current suppression of stem-cell research. Galileo's Children contains many of the best-known and best-selling science fiction authors of all time: Robert Silverberg, winner of the prestigious Grandmaster Award given by the Science Fiction Writers of America; National Book Award-winner Ursula K. Le Guin; multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winners Arthur C. Clarke, Mike Resnick, George R. R. Martin, and James Tiptree, Jr; best-selling author and Hugo Award-winner Greg Egan; the late Keith Roberts (author of Pavane) and Edgar Pangborn (winner of the Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery Award); and other lesser known but up-and-coming authors.
