The first short story collection in seven years from multiple award-winning author Ian Watson, who worked with Stanley Kubrick for a year writing the screen story to the film A.I.

About the Author


"The brilliant Ian Watson remains the most stimulating and one of the least comfortable science fiction writers working today. Reading his short fiction reminds us why he is one of the genre's unassailable greats." ï»¿ï»¿- Adam Roberts
