"Future on Ice" (1998) is a science fiction anthology edited by Orson Scott Card, belated [http://www.sfsite.com/11a/fut44.htm] companion to "Future on Fire" (1991). It contains eighteen stories written in the 1980s by different writers including "The Fringe" by Card himself.

A third volume, a collection of humorous or satirical sf called "Future on Hold", was contemplated by Card. But he says that book is "unlikely to be published.""This long-awaited book completes Card's definitive collection of short science fiction of the 1980s, the decade in which Card read almost every short story published and reviewed much of it."
