Synopsis

Nightfall Two is the second half of a two-volume British reissue of Isaac Asimov's 1969 anthology Nightfall and Other Stories, splitting the original twenty-story collection into Nightfall One and Nightfall Two. This volume gathers stories including "In a Good Cause—," "What If—," "Sally," "Flies," "'Nobody Here But—,'" "It's Such a Beautiful Day," "Strikebreaker," "Insert Knob A in Hole B," "The Up-to-Date Sorcerer," "Unto the Fourth Generation," "What Is This Thing Called Love?," "The Machine That Won the War," "My Son, the Physicist," "Eyes Do More Than See," and "Segregationist."

As with the original collection, each story is preceded by a short introduction from Asimov describing its background and how it came to be written, alongside the fiction itself, which ranges across robots, generation ships, alternate history, and social satire.
