Since 1978, the man challenged to light a fire under the readers month after month has been editor Stanley Schmidt. He has succeeded in exemplary fashion, which helps to explain why he's a twenty-time nominee for the best editor Hugo Award.
Now, for the first time, thirty-five of his stimulating essays have been gathered in book form. Running the gamut from how to challenge scientific orthodoxy to the flaws of our educational system, from the serious value of humor to the difficult choices between jobs and conservation, all the pieces are, in different ways, answers to the question asked by the title: Which Way to the Future? Schmidt's answers should appeal to anyone with an eye on the future.
