Her Smoke Rose Up Forever by James Tiptree Jr.

In Hugo and Nebula award-winning ''Houston, Houston, Do You Read?'' astronauts flying by the sun slip forward 500 years and encounter a culture that successfully questions gender roles in ours. ''The Women Men Don't See'' displays Tiptree's keen insight and ability to depict singularity within the ordinary. ''The Girl Who Was Plugged In'' is a future boy-meets-girl story with a twist unexpected by the players.

''The Screwfly Solution'' describes a chilling, elegant answer to the population problem.
