Dangerous Visions - Definition and Overview |

|
Dangerous Visions was a path-breaking science fiction short story anthology edited by Harlan Ellison and published in 1967.
It was a defining work of the New Wave science fiction movement, particularly in its depiction of sex in science fiction.
The anthology contains many classic stories, and the list of authors reads like a Who's Who of 1960s science fiction talent.
Dangerous Visions was followed by a second collection, Again, Dangerous Visions. A projected third collection, The Last Dangerous Visions, has yet to be published. Ellison has been severely criticized for not publishing the volume or returning control of the stories to their authors, some of whom have since died. British SF author Christopher Priest's lengthy attack on Ellison about this was published as The Last Deadloss Visions in the UK and as The Book on the Edge of Forever in the US. The essay was once available online but Priest has since requested the essay be withdrawn from the internet.
