Video: The Science Fiction Issue

Under the influence of a mysterious (though seemingly benign) power, this week The New Yorker brings you something unusual: a gathering of the living and the dead for a special Science Fiction issue. Here’s a preview of what’s in store, courtesy of the artist Dan Winters, whose photography appears in the issue alongside fiction and essays by Jonathan Lethem, Junot Díaz, Anthony Burgess, Sam Lipsyte, Jennifer Egan, Colson Whitehead, Emily Nussbaum, and many others.
