Book Overview

Bacigalupi creates believable, detailed, lived-in futures that just happen to portray an ugly set of sunsets for humanity on Earth....He is a truly dark bard, in the spirit of Ellison at his most vivid and cynical.--The Daily Camera

From Paolo Bacigalupi, author of The Wind-Up Girl; winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards; and winner of the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, comes a collection of eleven short science fiction stories. Social criticism, environmental advocacy, and political parable are at the core of Paolo's work. Each tale is simultaneously a warning and a celebration of the tragic comedy that is the human experience.

These eleven stories represent the best of Bacigalupi's work. They include the Hugo nominee "Yellow Card Man," the Sturgeon Award-winning story "The Calorie Man," and the Nebula- and Hugo-nominated story "The People of Sand and slag." Readers of Ted Chiang and Kelly Link will enjoy this collection.

While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller, a national bestseller, or a Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality books from a diverse group of authors.
