A Good Old-Fashioned Future

Here is a landmark collection - the visionary work of one of the most imaginative and insightful writers at work today. From the subversive to the antic, the uproarious to the disturbing, the stories of Bruce Sterling are restless, energy-filled journeys through a world running on empty.

From 'The Little Jackal', a darkly hilarious thriller of mercenaries and gunrunners in Finland, to Taklamakan's stark and haunting vision of a post-atomic netherworld, Bruce Sterling once again breaks boundaries, breaks icons and breaks rules to unleash the most dangerously provocative and intelligent SF being written today.
