Analog Science Fiction and Fact - November/December 2020

In dieser Ausgabe

It’s hard to believe we’re already wrapping up the anniversary year with the next issue, but you know we’re going to go out with a bang!
Our cover story marks the overdue return of an author and characters absent from Analog’s pages: what have the otter-like Cochee-coco been up to since we last saw them back in 2012? Find out in “Together We Can Be More” by Juliette Wade.
Then our fact article focuses on some famous SF concepts by some of the people who thought them up: we return to Dyson Spheres and Ring-Worlds in “Big Smart Objects” by Greg Benford and Larry Niven.
Next, our retrospective piece is a fine look at the weight of duty and the consequences of shirking it, in Gordon R. Dickson’s “Call Him Lord,” as well as a provocative accompanying essay from yours truly.
We also have a pair of special features diving deep into our history: “The Women We Can See in Analog” from Marie Vibbert, and “How Articles Came to Analog” by Edward M. Wysocki, as well as a range of fine fiction from the likes of George Zebrowski, Grey Rollins, Brenda Kalt, Gregor Hartmann, Eric Del Carlo, Marissa K. Lingen, M. Bennardo, and more! You don’t want to miss it!
