New dimensions 3

This collection is particularly significant for including Ursula K. Le Guin's 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,' which won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story, and James Tiptree, Jr.'s 'The Girl Who Was Plugged In,' which won the Nebula Award for Best Novella. These two stories are frequently cited as classics of the science fiction genre.

New Dimensions 3 is part of a series of original science fiction anthologies edited by Robert Silverberg, each featuring new stories from various authors. While they share an editor and a focus on original speculative fiction, each volume is a standalone collection of stories and does not require reading previous volumes.
