"No World Warranty" begins with a rewrite of two Nebula
Award-recommended novellas about the potential horrors and
salvation of nanotechnology. Originally published in "Analog
Science Fiction and Fact" as "StarStep" and "The New Land"--latter
given Honorable Mention in Gardner Dozois' annual "Year's Best
Science Fiction (8th Annual Collection," 1991, St. Martin's: New
York]), this adds a concluding novella. Inspired by "The Engines of
Creation" by K. Eric Drexler (Anchor Press/ Doubleday: Garden City,
New York, 1986), this epic tale describes building a whole new
world to settle after Earth is nearly destroyed.
But when we get there, it turns out that we're not alone
"Analog's" editor Stanley Schmidt writes: ..".You may also
notice that many of (Alex's) stories also deal with intelligent
beings reaching across barriers to make contact and achieve
understanding, whether it's humans with different sets of
abilities, or humans and nonhumans with very different ways of
living and experiencing the universe. They are, in short, about
reaching beyond whatever limitations one might have - and we all
have them - to find ways of living rich, satisfying, enjoyable, and
rewarding lives. That's what Alex is about, too, and I think you'll
enjoy his company as much as I have."
