A Morality-Themed Sci-Fi Anthology of Pride, Greed, Wrath, and Futuristic Vices

Curated by Isaac Asimov alongside Charles G. Waugh and Martin H. Greenberg, this speculative anthology collects nine short stories and novellas exploring the classic seven deadly sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust—through futuristic science fiction scenarios.

Featuring stories by master authors including Arthur C. Clarke, Fritz Leiber, Robert Silverberg, Frederik Pohl, and Jack Vance, the collection demonstrates how technological advances and alien encounters amplify human moral fallibility and ambition.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Isaac Asimov and his co-editors present a thought-provoking thematic collection examining human vice and morality across future worlds. Essential reading for vintage paperback collectors, short story fans, and classic sci-fi readers.
