Spacebraid and Other Tales of a Dystopian Universe is a collection
of one novella and seven short stories that explore the most
powerful of human emotions, fears and desires in settings sometimes
hostile, sometimes surreal, and always a bit off-kilter. The tales
vary from the humorous to the tragic, from the idealistic yearning
of the hero in Darwin to the horrifying fate of Godfrey in
Heisenberg in the Macro. Spacebraid, the longest piece in the
collection, is the story of a dedicated group of individuals led by
a brilliant theoretical physicist in a dash through time to
circumvent ecological disaster and, in so doing, to preserve the
best hopes and dreams of humankind. Be forewarned that these
stories are not for the faint of heart. They are meant to connect
at a viscerally potent level, challenge thought and, in the end,
place us in touch with our own values, hopes and fears. Take the
journey. It'll be a great ride.
