Book description
It has been said that the natural state of science fiction is the short
story. If that is so, you won't find a better exploration of that state
than Charles Stross's new collection. Centred around an original and
previously unpublished novella, 'Palimpsest', WIRELESS is a showcase of
some of the best short SF of the 21st century. With an introduction from
the author and containing hitherto uncollected works such as 'Missile
Gap', 'Trunk and Disorderly' and 'Rogue Farm', and some gems previously
available only in small press publications, such as 'A Colder War' and
'Antibodies', WIRELESS will illustrate perfectly why award-winning
editor and anthologist, Gardner Dozois, once declared: 'Where Charles
Stross goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow.'
Charles Stross was born in Leeds, England, in 1964. He has worked as a
pharmacist, software engineer and freelance journalist, but now writes
full time.
