"Sex with Strangers" is one of the brightest, most powerful and daring thematic science fiction anthologies of the turn of the 80s - 90s, with extraordinary, provocative stories, memorable for their diversity. A little more than half of all the songs were written specifically for her (Scott Baker, K.W. Jeter, Lisa Tuttle, Lewis Shiner, Jeff Ryman, Pat Murphy, etc.), the rest were reprints (H. Ellison, F. Farmer, J. Tiptree Jr., Lee Kennedy, Connie Willis, etc.). The book also includes an essay by Larry Niven and a foreword by William Gibson.
