The annual series of the WORLD’S BEST SCIENCE FICTION, presenting the cream of the crop each science fiction year, has become a “must-read” selection for science fiction readers everywhere.
In their third edition, the editors have chosen a dozen fascinating tales of strange worlds and peoples-including two of Roger Zelazny’s finest novelettes, and the first publication in this country of Michael Moorcock’s
Nebula Award winning novella about a time traveler’s quest for the historic Christ.

WORLD’S BEST SCIENCE FICTION: THIRD SERIES contains possibly the most unique collection of sf stories ever assembled in one book.

In it you will enter the world just around the corner-the illusive and fantastic corner of time:

The future millenia away-when Man is extinct and only his computers and robots roam the Earth, in senseless mechanical patterns, worshiping the long-dead race that created them. …

Or the reverse corollary-when future Man worships the computer, and each man has a personal god who answers his prayers, even though Man has found the key to immortality.

Throughout this marvelous realm of the new science fiction one theme is outstanding: How might any of countless alternate futures affect Man-affect you….?
