Synopsis

Ranging from flash to full novella lengths, the ten pieces featured here include stories about time travel and the 1939 World's Fair, a tendentious man/dog relationship on Mars, a spam-blocker program that incidentally shuts down the universe, giant artworks among the nearly immortal, Einstein channeled by a fortune teller, Big Data meets March Madness, and enhanced bonobos trying to re-create Shakespeare's lost play Cardenio. Hendrix's stories transcend time and show us the futures the human race yet may face, in the digital age and beyond.

About this title

Review:

"Howard Hendrix here demonstrates his imagination, versatility, and heart, in story after story. He has a gift for combining the latest news from the sciences with permanent truths of human nature to make fictions that are quirky and memorable. Highly recommended."
--Kim Stanley Robinson, author of Red Moon

"Howard Hendrix's work glows with imagination, compassion, and ingenuity. The characters are alive, and the science is gripping."
--Jack McDevitt, author of The Engines of God

"Just when you think you know where these tales are going, the floor drops out under you. The characters seem like people you might recognize--until they don't. Near future, far future, Earth or far out in space, the stories entertain and satisfy, but above all they make you think. And not all the questions asked lead to pretty answers."
--Sheila Finch, author of Triad

"Howard Hendrix is one of science fiction's cleverest writers--a fountain of ideas any one of which would have made Asimov or Clarke proud. Prepare to have your mind blown."
--Robert J. Sawyer, author of Quantum Night
