Resumen del editor
Forty years ago, Walt Kelly's comic strip character Pogo famously intoned: "We have met the enemy, and he is us." Now, as the evidence for climate change becomes overwhelming, we learn the hard reality behind that witticism. The possible destruction, and certain transformation, of the ecosphere has been brought about by our own activities. What will our new world look like? How will we - can we - adapt? The clash of a rapidly changing environment with earth's self-styled ruling species, humans, provides ample creative fodder for this riveting anthology of original science fiction.
In Welcome to the Greenhouse, award-winning editor Gordon Van Gelder has brought together 16 speculative stories by some of the most imaginative writers of our time. Terrorists, godlike terra formers, and humans both manipulative and hapless populate these pages. The variety of stories reflects the possibilities of our future: grim, hopeful, fantastic and absurd.
Reseñas editoriales
The apocalypse is a familiar theme in science fiction writing, and the current reality of climate change provides plenty of ominous inspiration for the genre. In this collection of original writing from popular wordsmiths like Bruce Sterling, Gregory Benford, Paul Di Filippo, and Alan Dean Foster, listeners visit a post-global-warming world filled with watery cities, terrorism, giant insects, and life-changing apps. Prolific voice actor Bob Dunsworth brings depth, sincerity, and suspense to his performance of these creative and disturbing stories that provoke the listener to really imagine what the future will be like.
