"Card's selections are excellent and include an interesting range of approaches to science fiction."--School Library Journal

Of particular interest in Future on Fire are several stories from the cyberpunk school, as well as Pat Murphy's Nebula Award-winning "Rachel in Love'' and Ursula K. Le Guin's wonderful "Buffalo Gals, Won't You Come Out Tonight.''
