Zion's Fiction: A Treasury of Israeli Speculative Literature

To my wife, Lilith, and kids, Adam, Shiran, and Liam, for keeping my sense of wonder afloat; to my mom, Roz, whose fortitude is something to behold; to my late father, Harry, and to uncles, Jack and Ben (ZT”L), who would have had a hoot with this, and to Grand Master Bob, who bent space and opened portals.

—SHELI TEITELBAUM

To Larry Niven, who showed me how science fiction ought to be written; to my friends at the Israeli Society for Science Fiction and Fantasy, those who feature in this anthology and everyone else as well; and to my wife, Liana, my sons, Amos and Eran, and their children.
