Schrödinger’s Wife (and Other Possibilities) by Pippa Goldschmidt If there’s a repeated theme in Schrödinger’s Wife (and Other Possibilities) it’s how the practice of science mirrors the life of its practitioners.

The first review of this week at @strangehorizons.bsky.social is from @octavia-cade.bsky.social, of Pippa Goldschmidt’s BSFA-shortlisted collection from @goldsf.bsky.social.

“I didn’t quite shove all the other reviewers out of the way to get to this, but it was a near thing.”

As co-founder Paul March-Russell explains in a guest post on @thefantasyhive.bsky.social, Gold SF was set up by himself, @unamccormack.bsky.social & Sarah Kember as a feminist SF imprint along the lines of the Women’s Press SF list of the 1980s, but updated to be intersectional.

BSFA 2025/ Nick Hubble's Selections:
"Schrödinger’s Wife" is one of 3 books (pictured) on the longlists from @GoldsmithsPress GoldSF imprint, with Vonda N. McIntyre’s "Little Sisters & Other Stories" also on Best Collection list & Abi Curtis’s "The Headland" on Best Novel longlist.

Delighted to see "This is Not a Science Fiction Textbook" featured on the annual Locus Recommended list.
