Science fiction writer Robert J. Sawyer is best known for his Hugo, Nebula, and Aurora Award-winning novels, but he's also written an impressive body of short fiction, essays, articles, and speeches. Relativity: Stories and Essays is his first collection of these.

This Aurora Award-winning book gives you a chance to read a selection of Sawyer's speeches, including his acceptance of the Hugo Award for his novel Hominids in 2003.

Among his articles, you'll discover how the author views science and religion, science fiction's importance to the world, what exactly he thinks is the difference between Canadian and American SF, and his fond remembrance of famed SF editor Judith Merril. Relativity also contains all three years of Sawyer's famed "On Writing" columns from the Canadian SF magazine On Spec, collected here for the first time.

This collection features a foreword by Mike Resnick and introductory notes on most pieces by Sawyer. And in the science-fiction stories gathered here, you'll:

? become a modern-day killer who walks with dinosaurs in "Just Like Old Times"

? experience first contact with an alien race, with all that implies in "Ineluctable"

? fly onboard Earth's first starship in "The Shoulders of Giants"

? And enjoy five more flights of the imagination in "Immortality," "The Stanley Cup Caper," "Star Light, Star Bright," "The Hand You're Dealt," and the title story, "Relativity."

Fascinating, controversial, and thought-provoking, this collection looks into the works and the mind of one of SF's most influential writers. Illinois Science Fiction in Chicago Press is proud to present Relativity, a book every Robert J. Sawyer fan and SF reader should have in their collection.

Robert J. Sawyer has won the Hugo, Nebula, John W. Campbell Memorial, Seiun, and Aurora Awards, all for best science fiction novel of the year. His novels include Golden Fleece, Rollback, Wake, and FlashForward (basis for the ABC TV series).
