Galileo's Children: Tales of Science vs. Superstition
Skeptical Inquirer, Sept-Oct, 2005
Galileo's Children. Tales of Science vs. Superstition. Edited and with introduction by Garnier Dozois. Prometheus Books, 2005. 343 pp. $25, hardcover. Thirteen science fiction tales each depicting the battle of science versus superstition by a noted SF author, many of them Hugo and Nebula winners (Arthur C.
Clarke, Ursula K. Le Guin, Robert Silverberg, George R.R. Martin, James Tiptree, and others). The stories all deal in various ways with the struggle to make progress against the wall of superstition and fear in spite of opposition from religious and political forces. Celebrated SF editor Dozois notes that the battles of science versus superstition continue today "as the battle to not have to think only what someone else thinks is okay for you to think." Says he: "Enjoy and ponder."
