“The age of spiritual
machines is almost
upon us, and Edward M. Lerner is our advance scout. He’s already been
where the
rest of us will soon be heading, and in this terrific collection of
stories he
gives us a series of fascinating, compelling, exciting glimpses of what
lies
ahead. A terrific book by a terrific author.” Hugo Award-winning author of HOMINIDS “Ed Lerner … knows
whereof he speaks,
not in the general way that an ambitious layman might, but in the
detailed,
hands-on, nitty-gritty way of one who has worked with this stuff at all
levels,
in such top-of-the-line places as Bell Labs, Honeywell, and Hughes
Aircraft. — Stanley Schmidt Editor, Analog Science Fiction and Fact Hugo- and Nebula-nominated author of Argonaut NEW "… This collection is not so much about predicting the future as it is about how today's technology could impact us in the next few years …. For its compelling vision of what could be, you will want to take more than a glimpse of Creative Destruction." — Fast Forward: Contemporary Science Fiction"When it all comes down to it, Science Fiction is a world of 'What Ifs' and Edward Lerner is pretty good at asking "what if" — Penguincomics.net
