Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Thirteen stories, all originally published between 2002 and 2007, examine the struggle for human survival and identity in strange places. In the title story, humans transmitted across space end up in a quasi-reality that may permit transcendence. The last man on earth in The Best Christmas Ever, a sorrowful abandoned house in Bernardo's House and a PI in a world without men in Men Are Trouble all plumb the depths of loneliness. In The Dark Side of Town, an estranged married couple find each other again in a drug-induced shared virtual reality, while in the Nebula-winning novella Burn, a man from an isolationist colony struggles to save it despite terrible revelations. Kelly frequently evokes a twisted, nostalgic America, and his characters seem contemporary and casual even in the prehistoric fairy tale Luck. Though this lends his stories a certain sameness, it also gives readers a way to connect with his surreal visions. (Aug.)

Review

"Kelly's stories depend on future technologies based on physics, information theory, genetics, and other au courant disciplines, but they're about love, friendship, and loyalty." --"Booklist"
