Sporty Spec: Games of the Fantastic views sports and games with a
speculative twist, in prophesied futures, parallel presents, and
imagined pasts. From tennis matches with Death to chess games with
Oberon, from free throws with the Fairy Court to surfing with
werewolves, every sport imaginable (and a few unimaginable) exist
within this speculative city of games. 42 authors, veterans and
rookies alike, have contributed flash fiction and poetry that will
take you from pong with a dust mote at the beginning of the world
to sailboarding through the stars at the universe's edge.
