Futures

In 2005, ''Nature'' was awarded the European Science Fiction Society's Best Publisher award^[7] for the "Futures" series of short articles and science fiction which Gee instigated in 1999. "Futures," briefly absent from ''Nature,'' was revived in 2007.^[8] A collection of one hundred of the features which originally appeared in ''Nature'' between 1999 and 2006 is scheduled to be published in November 2007 as ''Futures from Nature.''^[9]
