The Periodic Table of Science Fiction
''The Periodic Table of Science Fiction'' is a collection of 118 very short stories by science fiction author Michael Swanwick. Each story is named after an element in the periodic table, including the then-undiscovered Ununseptium.
The stories were commissioned to run on Eileen Gunn's The Infinite Matrix〔(The Infinite Matrix | Michael Swanwick | Periodic Table of SF | Hydrogen )〕 but were published in the Sci Fiction section of SciFi.com, between 2001 and 2003.〔(Internet Archive | SciFi.com | Sci Fiction | Periodic Table )〕 The stories were published as they were written, about which Swanwick said, "It made the sequence into a kind of performance art, something akin to being a trapeze artist, which is a possibility not normally open to a writer."〔(Crescent Blues | Author Interview )〕
The print edition was published in 2005, in two signed limited editions: one slipcase hardback edition with a print run of 200, and one hardback edition with a print run of 500 books.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= The Periodic Table of Science Fiction (jhc ) by Michael Swanwick (OF PRINT ) )〕 In 2009, Swanwick posted the stories on a weblog dedicated to the purpose.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= The Periodic Table of Science Fiction )〕
The theme of each story in the collection is inspired by the element it is named after. The book also includes an afterword by the author, and a foreword by Theodore Gray who was awarded the IgNobel Prize for Chemistry in 2002.
