Cyber World

Cybernetics. Neuroscience. Nanotechnology. Genetic engineering. Hacktivism. Transhumanism. The world of tomorrow is already here, and the technological changes we all face have inspired a new wave of stories to address our fears, hopes, dreams, and desires as Homo sapiens evolve--or not--into their next incarnation. Cyber World presents diverse tales of humanity's tomorrow, as told by some of today's most gripping science fiction visionaries.
