A selection of the Science Fiction Book Club. "One of the best new writers to enter science fiction in more than a decade. His stories are always exciting, inventive, evocative, and sometimes profound."--Gardner Dozois, <i>The Year's Best Science Fiction</i></b> <p/>Welcome to the Tomorrow Factory. <p/>On your left, post-human hedonists on a distant space station bring diseases back in fashion, two scavengers find a super-powered parasite under the waves of Sunk Seattle, and a terminally-ill chemist orchestrates an asteroid prison break. <p/>On your right, an alien optometrist spins illusions for irradiated survivors of the apocalypse, a high-tech grifter meets his match in near-future Thailand, and two teens use a black-market personality mod to get into the year's wickedest, wildest party. <p/>This collection of published and original fiction by award-winning writer Rich Larson will bring you from a Bujumbura cyberpunk junkyard to the icy depths of Europa, from the slick streets of future-noir Chicago to a tropical island of sapient robots. You'll explore a mysterious ghost ship in deep space, meet an android learning to dream, and fend off predatory alien fungi on a combat mission gone wrong. <p/>Twenty-three futures, ranging from grimy cyberpunk to far-flung space opera, are waiting to blow you away. <p/>So step inside the Tomorrow Factory, and mind your head.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>*A selection of the Science Fiction Book Club*</b> <p/> "Larson is <b>one of the best new writers to enter science fiction in more than a decade</b>.
