This collection of stories showcases the work of George Zebrowski, one of science fictionโ€™s masters and a writer Hugo and Nebula Award winner Robert J. Sawyer has called โ€œone of the most philosophically astute writers in science fiction.โ€ Like the writers Olaf Stapledon, Arthur C. Clarke, and Stanislaw Lem, Zebrowski explores the โ€œbig questionsโ€โ€”the expansion of human horizons, and the growth of power over our lives and the world in which we live.

In the title story, scientists push the boundaries of human mentality to keep pace with ever-evolving AIs. In โ€œThe Eichmann Variations,โ€ย a finalist for the Nebula Award, exact copies of captured Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann stand trial for his crimes against humanity, while in โ€œThe Word Sweep,โ€ all speech must be rationed because spoken words take on physical form. In โ€œWound the Wind,โ€ another Nebula Award finalist, unchanged humans roam freely until captured by those who know whatโ€™s best for them, and in โ€œStooges,โ€ a visiting alien hijacks the persona of Curly Howard. From hard science fiction (โ€œGรถdelโ€™s Doomโ€) to alternate history (โ€œLenin in Odessaโ€) to first alien contact (โ€œBridge of Silenceโ€), and with an introduction by renowned physicist/writer Gregory Benford, this collection presents one of the most distinctive voices writing in the field of science fiction today.
