Pump Six and Other Stories is Paolo Bacigalupi's debut collection of science-fiction short stories. Published in 2010 by Skyhorse Publishing, it includes eleven original short stories.

The eleven stories in Pump Six and Other Stories are essentially warning tales. Created by an author noted for his critical stance on society and politics today, the short stories, while science-fiction, relate vitally to our world. Stories include Hugo nominee "Yellow Card Man" and Nebula and Hugo nominee "The People of Sand and Slag."
