Masterpieces: The Best Science Fiction of the Twentieth Century by Orson Scott CardMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A great collection; it covers a wider variety of the history and breadth of styles of 2oth century science fiction. I enjoyed nearly all the stories; some were excellent. I would have liked a bit more context for the stories themselves -- at least some sense of why Card chose these particular stories. Was it just that the story tickled him? Was it influential? Did it have some impact on the field or the author? Card provides a short bio of the author, but I would have liked more on the story itself and the why of its inclusion.
