β¦ Synopsis
Axiomatic is a wonderful collection of eighteen short stories by Hugo Awardβwinning author Greg Egan. The stories in this collection have appeared in such science fiction magazines as Interzone and Asimovβs between 1989 and 1992. From junkies who drink at the time-stream to love affairs in time-reversed galaxies; from gene-altered dolphins that converse only in limericks to the program that allows you to design your own child; from the brain implants called axiomatics to the strange attractors that spin off new religions; from bioengineering to the new physics; and from cyberpunk to the electronic frontier, Greg Eganβs future is frighteningly close to our own present. Axiomatic is the perfect collection for any science fiction fan, especially one who enjoys Greg Eganβs work. The stories are imaginative and insightful, and written only the way that Greg Egan can do so.
