Asimov's Lore (episode 62)

Traditionally on Science Fiction 101, we follow up our "old magazine" review with a review of its modern counterpart - and this year is no exception, as in this episode we cast our eyes over a very recent issue of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine, dated Nov/Dec 2025. Contributors to this issue include Robert Silverberg, Greg Egan and Allen M. Steele.

No time for a quiz this time (shock horror!), but rest assured that it will return in our next episode.

But we do make time for our usual round-up of what's notable in past, present and future SF.

Among the items covered in this episode:

•  Asimov's Science Fiction magazine, Nov/Dec 2025
• The alien invasion that was the Norman Conquest of 1066: historian Marc Morris's highly readable non-fiction book, and as interviewed for the History Extra podcast (episodes 1 2 3 4)
• A(nother) David Brin story shows signs of becoming real
• The city of Bristol is to host a fiftieth anniversary celebration of Aardman Animation, the team behind Wallace and Gromit
• Apple TV announces launch date for For All Mankind season 5
