LONDON CENTRIC IBD

Sinopse

Militant A.I.s, virtual realities, augmented realities and alternative realities, a city where murderers stalk the streets, where drug lords rule from the shadows, and where large sections of the population are locked in time stasis, but where tea is still sipped in cafés on the corner and the past still resonates with the future...Thirteen stories that look to the future of this diverse, multi-faceted city, that invite the reader to consider different perspectives. Stories that draw you in to ápossible tomorrows and suggest what may lie just beyond the city&rsquo,s ever-changing skyline.áNeal Asher opens the anthology with a story set in his Polity Universe, Dave Hutchinson gives us a novelette from his Fractured Universe milieu, Jeremy Szal takes us to the world of his debut novel Stormblood, M.R. Carey, Aliette de Bodard, Geoff Ryman, Aliya Whiteley and a cast of equally talented writers transport us to Londons near and far...Contents:1. Introduction by Ian Whates2. Skin &ndash, Neal Asher3.
