<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"Wonderful, mind-expanding stuff, and well written too."--<i>The Guardian</i></b> <p/><b><i>Axiomatic</i> is a wonderful collection of eighteen short stories by Hugo Award-winning author Greg Egan. The stories in this collection have appeared in such science fiction magazines as <i>Interzone</i> and <i>Asimov's</i> between 1989 and 1992.</b> <p/>From junkies who drink at the time-stream to love affairs in time-reversed galaxies; from gene-altered dolphins that converse only in limericks to the program that allows you to design your own child; from the brain implants called axiomatics to the strange attractors that spin off new religions; from bioengineering to the new physics; and from cyberpunk to the electronic frontier, Greg Egan's future is frighteningly close to our own present. <p/>Included in this collection are such wonderful stories as: <p/>"Axiomatic"<br>"Into Darkness"<br>"The Safe-Deposit Box"<br>"Blood Sisters"<br>And many more! <p/><i>Axiomatic</i> is the perfect collection for any science fiction fan, especially one who enjoys Greg Egan's work. The stories are imaginative and insightful, and written only the way that Greg Egan can do so. <p/>Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, a national bestseller, or a Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality books from a diverse group of authors.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Greg Egan</b> is a computer programmer, and the author of the acclaimed SF novels <i>The Arrows of Time</i>, <i>Distress</i>, <i>Diaspora</i>, <i>Quarantine</i>, <i>Permutation City</i>, and <i>Teranesia</i>.
