THE REVIEW

By now, it is an indisputable fact that the speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. However, less known is the fact that Urania has published 88 micro-stories of science fiction. Two numbers, for a total of 366 pages.

A lyophilized sci-fi literary text.

If the total number of pages were divided by 88, an average of 4.1590909090909091 pages per story would be obtained.

A result that is nothing short of astonishing!

Readings so brief that you don’t realize the illusory passage of time. The high number of stories is such that no description is required.

Suffice it to know that the microscopic introduction is curated by Asimov, and that the involved writers include illustrious names in SF.

Sheckley, Bester, Knight, Niven, Zelazny, Pohl, Leiber, and of course Asimov, together with others, all gathered enthusiastically.

Topics: paradox, synchronicity, center of the universe, purple cows, resurrections, telepathy, materializer, time travel, patents, aliens, destiny. Following: brain drainers, questions, systems, hell, sphinxes, errors, strange cubes, exams, masks, swords, blood, future...

Are you waiting for the traffic light to turn green? Relieve your nerves and read a micro-story!

Are you sipping a Tea, Earl Grey, Hot like Captain Picard? Pair it with reading a micro-story!

Are you brushing your teeth? Let the toothpaste do its work and read a micro-story!

Micro-stories for every unimaginable situation.

Micro-stories for everyone!

PS: “While you’re not reading the micro-stories, admire Thole's covers.”
