Spider Robinson’s anthology contributions span nearly three decades of science fiction publishing, from 1974 to 2003. The earliest entries include appearances in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact and The Best From Galaxy, Volume IV, both from the mid-1970s. Through the late 1970s and into the 1980s, Robinson’s work appeared in anthologies like Chrysalis, Nebula Awards 13, The Best of All Possible Worlds, and the Tesseracts collection.
The later anthologies include entries in Northern Stars (1994) and two from 2003: New Skies: An Anthology of Today’s Science Fiction and Stars: Original Stories Based on the Songs of Janis Ian. Across all sixteen titles, these anthologies reflect Robinson’s long presence in the science fiction short fiction world. Since these are multi-author collections rather than a sequential series, they can be read in any order based on what catches your interest.
