More about the author:
Annabelle Dolidon, PhD, is from France but has been living in Portland for 15+ years. She is a professor at Portland State University with a special interest in French science fiction.

This book can be used both commercially and academically.
More about the book:
A collection of classic and contemporary French science fiction never before translated into English.
This unique collection of newly translated short stories offers a taste of classic and contemporary French science fiction to English-language readers. These stories cover a range of fascinating topics including simulated reality, speciesism, ecology, and transhumanism—all while exploring universal themes of belonging, death, and identity. Some of the authors featured in this anthology, like Julia Verlanger, Sylvie Denis, or Jean-Claude Dunyach, have shaped the history of French science fiction after World War II. Dolidon and Sermet provide illuminating expansions that accompany each tale and fascinating insights into the evolution of French and American science fiction.
