The Nebula Awards anthology series has been published annually since the 1960s, documenting the nominated and winning short fiction from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s annual awards. Each volume collects novellas, novelettes, and short stories from the previous year’s awards, making the series a useful record of what the SF community considered its best short work in any given period.
Robinson’s connection to these volumes reflects his long career in short fiction alongside his novels. He was nominated for Nebula Awards for short work during the 1980s and 1990s, and his fiction appears in several of these anthologies. The range of volumes listed here, from the first Nebula anthology in 1966 through to 2012, also reflects the history of the award itself across more than four decades of American science fiction.
Readers interested in the history of short science fiction, or who want to sample the field alongside Robinson’s own work, will find the Nebula anthologies a reliable guide to each era’s recognized writers.
