Additional information
by Fiona Moore (Author)
Fiona Moore is a Canadian-born academic, writer and critic living in London. Her work has been shortlisted for BSFA Awards and a World Fantasy Award. Her short fiction has appeared in Clarkesworld, Asimov's, Interzone, ParSec and elsewhere, and has been selected for four consecutive editions of The Best of British Science Fiction.
Eighteen stories drawn from more than a decade of publications, plus the title story: a brand new novelette that appears here for the first time.
From a woman rebelling against the corporation that has turned her into living, breathing product placement to a story of misfit automata that have outlived their sell-by date. From a murder case involving an AI car to the hunt for a sentient battle tank lost somewhere in the jungle... These stories show us disturbing futures that may be a lot closer than we like to think.
