Diese Story-Sammlung vereint sieben Science Fiction-Erzählungen. Preisgekrönte Autoren haben sie für uns im Auftrag geschrieben. Die Themen sind, seit es Science Fiction gibt, unzählige Male behandelt und variiert worden, aber nie so prägnant und endgültig wie in unseren Beispielen. Jeder Autor befaßt sich mit seinem »Lieblingsthema«: Isaac Asimov, der Erfinder der »Drei Gesetze der Robotik«, widmet sich dem Thema Roboter und Androiden, Poul Anderson, aus dessen schriftstellerischem Werk der Begriff »hard (technologisch exakte) science fiction« hervorging, schreibt über die Erforschung des Weltalls. Die Beiträge der anderen Autoren - ebenfalls Spezialisten auf ihrem Gebiet - erfüllen dieselben Voraussetzungen. Das Ergebnis ist überzeugend und der Beweis dafür, das Science Fiction erwachsen geworden ist und als Literaturgattung ernst genommen zu werden verdient. Brennpunkt Zukunft 1 Science Fiction für Anspruchsvolle aus dem Verlag Ullstein. enthält die Texte: Wir, die Verkauften Frederik Pohl Die Sternenwanderer Poul Anderson Im Land der Jugend Kit Reed Die Menschen und wir Isaac Asimov Wir drei Dean R. Koontz Die Raumratten vom KKK Harry Harrison Weltenwanderer Robert Silverberg
