A future where murder is only a misdemeanor. A colony world where humans can remain only if they are worthy of their tenancy. A woman who journeys to postapocalytic Africa in search of her childhood best friend. Welcome to a dozen tales of futures near and far. Futures transformative or lethal. Futures to show us who we are.
“...astonishing both in range and quality. Dave Smeds conjures a future where regeneration and eternal youth are made possible through nanotechnology; his story tells what happens to a dysfunctional mother and a daughter in a world where suicide is a hobby and murder a misdemeanor.” -- Publishers Weekly on Full Spectrum 4
