INTRODUCTION

 

 

"All You Zombies" was written in one day, July 11, 1958, and first published in the March 1959 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine after being rejected by Playboy.

The story involves a number of paradoxes caused by time travel. Since its publication, the work has become one of the most famous science fiction short stories about time travel. In 1980, it was nominated for the “Balrog Award” for short fiction.

"All You Zombies" further develops themes explored by the author in a previous work, "By His Bootstraps", published some eighteen years earlier. Some of the same elements also appear later in The Cat Who Walks Through Walls (1988).
