<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Steampunk takes on Southeast Asia in this anthology, infused with the spirits of its diverse peoples, legends, and geography. Delving into local alternate histories, we will introduce you to a dynamic steampunk world quite different from the one you may be familiar with"--Page 4 of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Steampunk takes on Southeast Asia in this anthology </b> <p/>The stories in this collection merge technological wonder with the everyday. Children upgrade their fighting spiders with armor, and toymakers create punchcard-driven marionettes. Large fish lumber across the skies, while boat people find a new home on the edge of a different dimension. Technology and tradition meld as the people adapt to the changing forces of their world. <i>The Sea Is Ours</i> is an exciting new anthology that features stories infused with the spirits of Southeast Asia's diverse peoples, legends, and geography.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The standouts are the three central pieces: Kate Osias's 'The Unmaking of the Cuadro Amoroso, ' in which an enclave of prodigies takes revenge on imperial war machines; Olivia Ho's 'Working Woman, ' reexamining Frankenstein's monster amid the multicultural power brokers of Singapore; and Robert Liow's 'Spider Here, ' a hard-SF adventure with a suicide bomber, illegal fights, and a disabled schoolgirl protagonist. Even the slighter stories have the craft, perspective, and components that merit savoring, and the finest would be worth considering for any year's best anthology." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jaymee Goh</b> is a writer, editor, reviewer, blogger, and academic of science fiction, fantasy, and steampunk.
