Science fiction 101
Published as Worlds of Wonder in 1987, Science Fiction 101 still works on several levels: as an autobiography of "one of the most honored Masters in the history of the field" (and you thought Asimov immodest), as an introduction to classic SF short stories mostly from the 1950s, and as entertaining and insightful essays on just what SF is and how it works.
Unlike many current authorities, Silverberg places SF inside the fantasy genre. In fact, ignoring the obvious vampires, elves and magic, he argues that it precisely the possibility--however improbably--of SF which distinguishes it from fantasy. And demonstrates his point using several stories which have no overt SF characteristics.
Some of the stories are excellent; some less so, and a few irritating poor, but Science Fiction 101 is far better than most SF anthologies you'll find these days.
A good read.
