Jede Seite, jeder Satz dieses Buches ist die Gestaltwerdung eines fiebrigen Traums. Plastisch und tabulos beschreibt Paul Di Filippo eine neue Dimension körperlicher Freuden. Ein sprachgewaltiges Buch der Offenbarung und der Erlösung, das zu den Wurzeln unseres Menschseins vordringt. Amerika im Jahr 2015. Kerry Hackett unterzieht sich einer unheimlichen Transformation. Sie verschmilzt mit einem parabiologisch erschaffenen Wesen und wird zu einer Art alchemistischer Gottheit: übermenschlich, übersexualisiert und fähig, ihrer Gestalt jede nur erdenkliche Form zu verleihen. Sie verläßt die von einem totalitären Regime beherrschten USA und zieht in den Dschungel Brasiliens. Dort erprobt sie ihre neuen Fähigkeiten an jenen, die sich ihrer für würdig erweisen, und strebt auf eine neue Daseinsstufe zu.

An anthology of end-of-the-millennium fiction, capturing the atmosphere of the times from millennium madness to apocalypse culture. Writers such as Jeff Noon, Douglas Coupland, Nicholas Blincoe, Kathy Acker and Poppy Z. Brite have contributed exclusive stories.

In a strange, seriously funny and stunningly inventive collection of stories all set in the same disturbingly dystopian tomorrow, acclaimed sf innovator Paul DiFilippo demonstrates that the future isn't electronic, nuclear, or cyber...it's organic. Here is an Earth where bodies and brains are routinely genetically/chemically modified; where laboratory-created Splices do the dirty work -- as long as their genetic makeup is less than haft human -- and, sometimes, go renegade, forcing the Protein Police to hunt them down like dogs. In this world, potentially apocalyptic threats -- viral, mental, virtual, physical, and brain-fryingly toxic -- are everywhere, inside and out, the outrageous end-products of unchecked biological tinkering with our surroundings and ourselves. You will never forget this brave new world: it's a future that will swallow you whole.
