In this collection Sam Asher takes a hard, but often deeply moving look at a near-future dystopia, a time and place not too far from our present reality. He understands that with every supposed leap forward in technology there is a price to pay, a price that often involves a lessening of our humanity. As Jenny Williams, author of
The Atlas of Forgotten Places
, says, "This book will scoop out your insides and set them on fire. You'll hope it never ends."
