Paul Di Filippo is one of Science Fiction's finest short story
writers, wild, witty, exuberantly imaginative; Babylon Sisters and
Other Posthumans is a generous showcase of his strange,
transformative, and powerful Hard SF visions. The fourteen stories
collected here are glimpses into the most fantastic possibilities
of human evolution-biological, social, and cultural. From a New
York split into warring walled enclaves, to the destiny of our
species as a strain of virus, to an Africa made over by nanotech
messiahs, to a future Earth protected by half-alien angels, to wars
of liberation from what we have always so tragically been: these
are only some of the awe-inspiring transitions to be found in
Babylon Sisters. Read here of rebellion by books against their
librarian, of cosmic destiny remade by stellar lunatics, of
disorienting ventures beyond the boundaries of the human; discover
here the perverse and terrible dangers of the age of posthumanity.
