25 Stories of High-Tech Futuristic Science Fiction

These stories are by the biggest names in an emerging new crop of science fiction, including Charles Stross, Robert Reed, Alastair Reynolds, Peter Hamilton, and Neal Asher. High-tech SF has made a significant comeback in the last decade, as bestselling authors successfully blend the super-science of hard science fiction with real characters in an understandable scenario.

It is perhaps a reflection of how technologically controlled our world is that readers increasingly look for science fiction that considers the fates of mankind as a result of increasing scientific domination. This anthology brings together the most extreme examples of the new high-tech, far-future science fiction, pushing the limits way beyond normal boundaries.

The stories include: "A Perpetual War Fought Within a Cosmic String", "A Weapon That Could Destroy the Universe", "A Machine That Detects Alternate Worlds and Creates a Choice of Christs", "An Immortal Dead Man Sent To The End of the Universe", "Murder in Virtual Reality", "A Spaceship So Large That There is An Entire Planetary System Within It", "An Analytical Engine At The End of Time", and "Encountering the Untouchable".
