| Computing is mere decades young, a set of technologies we have scarcely begun to develop. It's already been quite a ride. Now: Imagine every gadget around you becoming ever faster, cheaper, tinier, more interconnected, more intelligent... especially more intelligent. The stories in Creative Destruction explore what we could face in the next half century or so: artificial intelligence, malicious software to makes us nostalgic for mere viruses, ever-more-perfect virtual reality, direct neural interfaces to computers, ubiquitous networks, and more. The Internet? That was nothing. "The age of spiritual machines is almost upon us,and Edward M. Lerner is our advance scout. He's already been where the rest of us will soon be heading, and in this terrific collection of stories he gives us a series of fascinating, compelling, exciting glimpses of what lies ahead. A terrific book by a terrific author." -- Robert J. Sawyer, multi-Hugo Award-winning author "The first job of any storyteller is to entertain his readers. These stories will do that, in a big and exhilarating way; but they will also make you think." -- Stanley Schmidt, Editor, _Analog_ |
