Dangerous visions

Book • 1975
Dangerous Visions, edited by Harlan Ellison, is a landmark science fiction anthology that collected controversial and experimental stories challenging social norms and genre conventions.

Published in the late 1960s, it features contributions from many major writers who explored taboo or provocative themes in speculative settings.

Ellison assembled the collection to expand the possibilities of science fiction and encourage authors to take risks with style and subject matter.

The anthology's impact on the genre was significant, inspiring subsequent generations of writers and editors to pursue more challenging and mature themes.

Its stories remain studied for their daring content and historical importance in the New Wave movement.
