Future Science Fiction Digest is a periodical dedicated to international science fiction, with a core run of seventeen original issues published between 2018 and 2022. The magazine was edited by Alex Shvartsman and made a point of publishing science fiction in English translation from languages including Chinese, Russian, Hebrew, and Spanish, alongside original English-language stories.
Ken Liu served as a contributing editor and translator for several issues. The listing also includes classic “Year’s Best” and “Best SF” anthologies spanning back to 1968, which share the broader mission of curating the best science fiction of their respective years. Together these publications represent decades of effort to collect and preserve outstanding short science fiction.
