"Isaac Asimov said science fiction is the branch of literature that deals with the responses of human beings to changes in science and technology. His definition put humans in a reactive role, but we can also be proactive, actively making the future what we want ... and that's what this anthology of provocative and disturbing stories challenges us to do." --Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids

"This anthology once again proves that Adams is an editor of high skill. ... Seeds of Change continues to exemplify Adams ability to pick short stories of distinction. These nine stories ... are thought provoking without being didactic, asking the reader to think deeply about issues of today through the stories of the future. ... This is the sort of writing the speculative fiction the genre was meant to produce. Readers should be pleased with the results of the contributors' and editor's efforts." -- John Ottinger, Grasping for the Wind

"These are not your usual short stories -- each one is a true gem. If you haven't already found this book on the shelves, go look for it now. It will supply hours of absorbing reading and lots of food for thought." --SF Revu

"The theme of Seeds of Change, an anthology of original fiction edited by John Joseph Adams, is paradigm shifts. Specifically, Adams asked the writers to write stories about technological, scientific, political or cultural change. Not only did each writer succeed at that goal, but most of them managed to provide stories that were entertaining and thought-provoking as well." --SF Signal

"Science fiction has always asked us to consider the societies we live in and ways they might change. Books like Seeds of Change demonstrate that SF continues to do so, and surely this is something to be encouraged and thankful for." -Chris Butler, The Fix
