Over the last 21 years, Albedo One, Ireland’s premiere magazine of science fiction, fantasy and horror, has enjoyed a rich and varied history, picking up several accolades along the way, including three European Science Fiction Society awards. From the outset, the magazine became known for featuring quality fiction from new and emerging writers. And now, collected under one cover for the first time is a selection of the very best of that fiction from the first decade of Albedo One’s existence. Witness a post-apocalyptic Earth where the bloated descendants of humankind gorge themselves on the offerings of automated food dispensers that are slowly breaking down.

Sexton, H. Turnip Smith, Tais Teng and Neil Williamson.
