Enjoy our fifteenth collection of Science Fiction Gems, which features some great fiction by brilliant writers. These stories are a pretty brilliant group-a real nice batch to cozy up to.

And "Someday" will give you a bird's eye view of the entire phenomenon of self-awareness. All in all, there are some grand futuristic thrills waiting for you in the pages of this new collection; so be bold and step into the future.
