  1. Thanks Lavie. Two corrections. First, size constraints prevented us from including Rana Dasgupta’s fine story, much to our regret (however, it can be found in his collection, Tokyo Canceled). Second, the contributors include the award-winning playwright Manjula Padmanabhan’s ‘The Other Woman’.

  2. As a scholar and avid reader of Indian sf (and sf in general), I am really excited about this. Will this be available shortly?
