LIGHTSPEED is an online science fiction and fantasy magazine. In its pages, you will find science fiction: from near-future, sociological soft SF, to far-future, star-spanning hard SF--and fantasy: from epic fantasy, sword-and-sorcery, and contemporary urban tales, to magical realism, science-fantasy, and folktales. This month, we have original science fiction by Sunny Moraine ("What Glistens Back") and Annalee Newitz ("Drones Don't Kill People"), along with SF reprints by Susan C. Petrey ("Spidersong") and Roz Kaveney ("Instructions"). Plus, we have original fantasy by Kat Howard ("A Flock of Grief") and Matthew Hughes ("Enter Saunterance"), and fantasy reprints by Georghe Sasarman ("Sah-Hara") and Jennifer Stevenson ("Solstice"). All that, and of course we also have our usual assortment of author and artist spotlights, along with feature interviews with authors Nick Harkaway and Charles Stross. For our ebook readers, we also have our usual ebook-exclusive novella reprint: "New Light on the Drake Equation" by Ian R. MacLeod. We also have an excerpt from Mira Grant's latest offering, SYMBIONT; and a taste of THE THREE BODY PROBLEM by Liu Cixin (translated by Ken Liu).
