White Mirror: Stories (Deluxe Paperback Edition)

American Book Awards Science Fiction Finalist It is easy to imagine the end of the world. Try imagining the opposite. Not paradise; paradise is just the end of the world with better lighting. Try imagining a future you would actually want to live in, specific enough to spend an afternoon inside. It is harder than it sounds. This book does it thirty-one times. Thirty-one stories. One man living all of them. Lucilius has been an inventor, a pilot, a monk, a grocery shopper, and briefly, by most definitions, a god. He dies often. It never sticks. Each story takes one of the old questions, the kind we used to build cathedrals over, and follows it into a future where it finally has to be answered. Most take ten minutes to read. Many will echo in your mind for weeks. The universe isn't just very old, remember, it's also very young. Each story stands alone. Together they map a future actually worth exploring. There is also a puzzle hidden in this book. A real one, layered through the stories, and something waiting for the reader who cracks it. Even figuring out where to submit your answer is part of the game. The deluxe edition features original illustrations throughout.
