Description
Axiomatic is a wonderful collection of eighteen short stories by Hugo Award-winning Australian author Greg Egan. 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.
Included in this collection are such wonderful stories as: Axiomatic, Into Darkness, The Safe-Deposit Box, Blood Sisters and many more!
