...Fiction, Today and Tomorrow is a collection of fifteen essays that focuses on some of these questions and tries to provide answers. The authors of the short pieces are drawn from the top ranks of science fiction writing: Frank Herbert, Frederik Pohl, Alan E. Nourse, Poul Anderson and Jack Williamson. They bring their considerable talents to bear on the issues confronting science fiction, but the end result, while absorbing, tends to be choppy. The essays run the gamut from a discussion of science fiction in the visual media to a detailed description of the way a writer creates an imaginary...

Stone (Fred Williamson), who is black, is helped along by a friendly detective (Richard X. Slattery) who is white, and tormented by thoughts of the slinky number on the first floor, who is bi. Stone is made to feel unduly stuffy because the sight of his girl (Teresa Graves) with another woman makes him queasy. She sets him straight, though, without...
