Publisher's Synopsis
Acclaimed media theorist and award-winning science-fiction writer Paul Levinson here brings his dual talents to bear on probing the hurtling information revolution, and the way it is transforming our lives.
Computers as judges, books programmed to appeal to literally everyone's personal tastes, the civil rights of robots, the extinction of extinction via reclaimed DNA--these and many other cutting-edge themes are explored in the nine short stories and nine essays that comprise this extraordinary collection.
In addition to writings that first appeared in publications ranging from "Wired" to "Analog," this book also contains three never-before-published science fiction stories by Paul Levinson. A great introduction to a highly original, important, and captivating author.
