If we could visit other planets, what would we find? Would human expansion reveal the Universe to us or simply confirm what we already know about ourselves instead? How will we react at first contact, and what can technological advancements tell us about the human condition? The twelve stories in Interstellar Objects: A Science Fiction Anthology, which range from high-concept science fiction to noire, explore these questions and more. Motivated by real science and a pragmatic, often comedically cynical view of life, these stories traverse the past, present, and future to offer thought-provoking, inspiring, and sometimes harrowing tales of life throughout the cosmos and in our own backyard.
