A collection of short stories that will make you think, grapple with big questions, and feel more human. The best kind of science fiction.Barack Obama
Beautifully written and conceived, this is a marvelous, astonishing collection that we would do well to read before the worlds it conjures are upon us. Urgently recommended.Alan Moore
