Stories set in a variety of futures from the award-winning heir of
Arthur C. Clarke: Traces gives a kaleidoscopic vision of the
possibilities for humankind. There are visions of histories which
differ from our own, either through small changes - what if Germany
had won WWI ('Mittelwelt') - or through a fundamental difference in
physical laws - what if Archimedes had been right in his
clockwork-like cosmological vision ('No Longer Touch the Earth').
There are visions of futures in which people struggle to survive in
a variety of bizarre environments ('Downstream', 'The Blood of
Angels'), or, weakened and powerless, inhabit the end of worlds
('Inherit the Earth', 'George and the Comet'). There are
explorations of astonishing events of our own lifetimes, in
particular the grand expansion into space ('Zemlya', 'Moon Six',
'Pilgrim 7'). These visions give an impression of the contingency
of our everyday here-and-now, surrounded as it is by an infinite
array of possible pasts, presents, and futures.
