SF 명예의 전당 2: 화성의 오디세이

미국SF작가협회에서 선정한 최고의 SF단편 모음집『SF명예의 전당』제2권 <화성의 오디세이>. 미국SF작가협회 회원들이 투표를 통해 1965년 이전에 미국에서 발표되었던 SF 단편 중에서 최고의 작품들을 선정했다. 1권이 제목으로만 전해지던 전설의 작품들을 소개하는 단편집이었다면, 이번 2권은 그 전설을 마무리하고 새로운 새벽으로 나아가는 작품들을 소개하는 단편집이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 작품들에는 과학적인 논리 기반, 광대한 우주 속의 인간으로서 느끼는 경이감 등 SF 고유의 속성이 잘 드러나 있다. 또한 과학적인 방법론이나 기술적인 발달을 사회와 인간 정신에 대한 고민에 적용하며 문화와 과학에도 영향을 미쳤다.
