Scientists of Metaphorosis: speculative stories by scientists

From the Metaphorosis Library Collection, an anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories by scientists.

The beauty of speculative fiction is that anyone can read it and anyone can write it. But sometimes, it helps to bring a professional perspective along with imagination. Not all these stories are about science, but they’re all written by people who’ve worked in science as part of their day job - people who know what they’re talking about, who are steeped in scientific method.

Drawn form Metaphorosis magazine’s nine years of publication, these 12 stories by actual scientists bring a practiced eye to everything from fantastic seas of glass to dragons and unicorns formed from forgotten technology to first contact with aliens. See what you can discover here!
