Le Guin's classic novel The Left Hand of Darkness, and more.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 Paramount is reportedly at work on a new Trek series, critics hate Wild Wild West, Anderson will pen a new Fantastic Voyage novel, Superman may take flight, and more.
ON SCREEN
 We review Will Smith's new would-be blockbuster Wild Wild West, and we take a look at a mockumentary about the summer's hottest independent film, The Blair Witch Project.
OFF THE SHELF
 In Robert J. Sawyer's novel Flashforward, an experiment gone wrong gives everyone a glimpse into the future, while Ken Macleod defends humanity in The Cassini Division.
CLASSICS
 In 1969 Ursula K. Le Guin published The Left Hand of Darkness, an SF book that would forever cement her as one of the finest writers in America.
COOL STUFF
 With the Star Wars: Episode I - Insider's Guide you can probably learn more about The Phantom Menace than even George Lucas knows.
GAMES
 MechWarrior 3 is the latest title in an illustrious line of BattleTech games, and it takes the art of bipedal robotic combat to all new levels.
