• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"I have no objection to truth," I said, "but I enjoy untruths too, they're the building blocks of human culture. Actors pretending to be kings, singers faking heartbreak or elation, novelists inventing heroes in their heads to escape the mindless dullards around them. Reality is a vast sea of tedium interrupted by brief flashes of the repugnant - why would anyone chain themselves to that?" * A spin doctor forced to deal with aliens who loathe lies. A squad of soldiers torn apart by the fiction in their midst. A hunting submarine with its dead captain strapped to the prow, the crew promising that one day they'll revive him. We all tell lies to get through the day, some of them to ourselves, some to other people. Now read the extraordinary lies of the future in these nine short science fiction stories.
