Victor Storiguard is a writer and editor whose career stretches back for over a quarter of a century. Originally a journalist writing about computers, he has now moved on to science fiction. Much of his work deals with "transhumanism" and "posthumanism." Critics have said that his tales combine hard technology with the appeal of fairy tales and myth.
Into the Posthuman future...
Once more, Victor Storiguard takes us into his unique vision of the world after the Singularity...the moment when machines or machine/human hybrids obtain superintelligence, and leave the rest of us behind...
These stories explore all the wonderful and terrible possibilities of that, including:
The Tower, The Hunger— Professor Littelvert used a weapon from the distant past to destroy her enemies. But she never dreamed the price she'd pay..
Canapé —Hugh McCracken. Ph.D. and Department Head, was certain that the world adored him. It never occurred to him that the beautiful woman might love him for his brains alone...what there were of them.
The Hate Buyer — They were a nearly perfect species, but somewhere they'd gone wrong. Now they needed to buy their strongest emotions, like hatred, from those who didn't need them any more.
The Compass And The Rose — Jason Xavier Newton knew that humanity was about to leap upward in power and intelligence. He also knew that the Powers That Be would do everything they could to stop it from doing so. But, the Powers That Be didn't know how determined a man Dr. Newton could be.
Hydra — Rachel Moreau's life was in ruins. Her company had been acquired in a hostile takeover, her marriage was over, and her future was bleak. But then she met...the Hydra.
The Day Of The Mule — it was the far future, and humanity was dying out. But, the Scholar Kleon thought he had an answer. He just didn't know how little the men and women of the elite cared whether the race went extinct. In fact...
So don't miss these tales from the master of transhuman fiction, Victor Storiguard!
