Key Word Search: Analog Science Fiction

The first thing you’ll notice about our December issue is a new look, but don’t worry: what’s inside is the same magazine you look forward to each month. Like everyone else these days, we’ve had to look at ways to deal with the rapidly rising costs of production and distribution. Our choices boiled down to two: a new format with fewer but bigger pages, allowing us to offer very close to the same amount of content while producing it more economically; or a substantial increase in subscription and single-issue prices. Understanding that you, too, are probably having to economize, we chose the new format. We’ll make every effort to keep the “new” Analog as you like it, and as always welcome your suggestions on how to do it even better.

Our first offering in the new package features the usual diverse package of stories, including novelettes by David Bartell and Joe Schembrie (at least one of which could be construed as appropriate to the season) and Part 2 of Robert J. Sawyer’s new novel Wake. Richard A. Lovett’s fact article, “Green Nanotechnology,” is exactly what the title suggests: a look at some of the ways the rapidly expanding field of nanotechnology can be applied, quite soon, to solving pressing environmental problems. Overall, we think it’s an issue you’ll thoroughly enjoy, new look and all.
