Description

A robot requests death from its mechanic. A slick raygun salesman teaches his protege how to deal with warlords. A ronin barrista brings the joy of coffee to far-off colonies. A woman writes an automatically-updated novel that scrolls across her body. A flamboyant old soldier holds court behind the delicate defenses of a doomed war. A young man discovers fatherhood in the violence of an arctic wasteland. A girl visits a brothel staffed by octopi. A man returns his newly purchased sex-bot on the grounds that it's too human. This volume reveals glimpses in to fifty futures, some uproarious, some disturbing, but all bearing the unique stamp of this visionary author
