"Wonderful, mind-expanding stuff, and well written too."--The
Guardian
Axiomatic is a wonderful collection of eighteen short stories by
Hugo Award-winning author Greg Egan. The stories in this collection have
appeared in such science fiction magazines as Interzone and Asimov's
between 1989 and 1992.
From junkies who drink at the time-stream to love affairs in
time-reversed galaxies; from gene-altered dolphins that converse only in
limericks to the program that allows you to design your own child; from
the brain implants called axiomatics to the strange attractors that spin
off new religions; from bioengineering to the new physics; and from
cyberpunk to the electronic frontier, Greg Egan's future is
frighteningly close to our own present.
Included in this collection are such wonderful stories as:
"Axiomatic"
"Into Darkness"
"The Safe-Deposit Box"
"Blood Sisters"
And many more!
Axiomatic is the perfect collection for any science fiction fan,
especially one who enjoys Greg Egan's work. The stories are imaginative
and insightful, and written only the way that Greg Egan can do so.
