Book Synopsis Sexual Chemistry and Other Tales of the Biotech Revolution by : Brian Stableford
Download or read book Sexual Chemistry and Other Tales of the Biotech Revolution written by Brian Stableford and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together the ten earliest stories in Brian Stableford’s series of "Tales of the Biotech Revolution," all written in the 1980s, except for one anomalous example from the 1960s. The dates in some of the stories, located a comfortable distance in the future when the stories were written, have now long past, revealing certain anomalies of early expectation; but they have been left unaltered, as nostalgic samples of yesterday’s long-dead and perhaps much-lamented tomorrows. The collection begins and ends, as is surely only appropriate, with flamboyant utopian fantasies boldly asserting the perfectibility of humankind and the world of which the species has custody. Great science-fiction reading by a master of the form!
Book Synopsis The Best of Both Worlds and Other Ambiguous Tales by : Brian Stableford
Download or read book The Best of Both Worlds and Other Ambiguous Tales written by Brian Stableford and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2013-08-09 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the longest story in this collection, an eleven-year-old girl has a strange adventure in an overgrown garden, and probably saves the world from a fate worse than any conventional apocalypse. Her parents would undoubtedly think that she’s been dreaming if she attempted to explain what had happened, but that’s what parents do, because they think it’s what they ought to do. The other stories all describe similarly equivocal victories, which sometimes don’t appear to the other characters in the stories to be victories at all—but they are: every last one of them. You just have to look at them the right way—and it really is worth doing that? After all, who among us really wants to get stuck in the way things want to seem? Eight scintillating stories of science fiction by a master of the genre!
