Description

A new collection for 2025 of classic science fiction stories from a master of the genre, including the story that inspired Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster film, AI: Artificial Intelligence

Hello Earth, Are You There includes twenty-seven short stories from Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author, Brian Aldiss, OBE.

A Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America and vice-president of the international H.G. Wells Society, Aldiss wrote nearly one hundred books and over three hundred short stories.

This collection, celebrating Aldiss’ centenary, gathers some of the best short stories from across his stellar career, with an introduction written by William Boyd.

From the tale of a boy who finds companionship from his robot Teddy – which was the basis of Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster film A.I Artificial Intelligence – to robots controlling Earth in the 44th century, to the time-travelling hunt for a brontosaurus, this collection is a must-have for all Aldiss fans and an excellent introduction to the work of a true science fiction master.
