Can you hear the whispers? We are trapped here. This is some of what we see, what we experience. Worlds Beyond and Futures Unseen. An android that is more than meets the eye, a dystopian society that puts free time on a pedestal, mind-bending reeducation, cloning, dimensional travel, unethical experimentation, AI gone rampant, obscene industry, and genetic art.\n\nWhispers from the Spaces Between and Futures Unseen is a collection of bizarre stories, grotesque and horrifying, from the author Curtiss Christensen. Blood, gore, and foul language abound\n\nContained in this collection:\n\nN.o O.ne R.emembers T.heir H.ome: The android J4m35 tries its best to sell drinks under a corporate flag despite his numerous malfunctions.

Howard just wants to work...\nSmoker Beware: William Gibson is a smoker in a world that tolerates his habit less and less. His coworkers despise him, his manager penalizes him, and his wife disapproves. His life spirals out of control. All he has to do is quit, but the smokes taste sweeter than honey and more satisfying than sex.\nThe Abridged History of Cloning: It started as most discoveries do--with the simplest of forms. From there it advanced into replacement organs, biological weapons, political upheaval, and... the numbers.\nWorlds Beyond and the Spaces Between: Professor Victor Fern is presented with an artifact. The sphere is strange. At least one has succumbed to its otherworldly power. Its essence is enthralling. Victor Fern cannot resist its allure.
