About the Book
A collection of stories.
STATE OF THE ART
In the high-tech field, state of the art defines the cutting edge. In
science fiction, Walter Jon Williams is the state of the art.
Praised for his entertaining, thoughtful novels, including HARDWIRED,
VOICE OF THE WHIRLWIND, and ANGEL STATION, Williams is also an acclaimed master of short fiction. Here are his finest works collected together
for the first time in book form.
Among the stories included here are "Surfacing," a poignant tale of
communication between humans and other species; "Dinosaurs," a classic
SF story about a war between two widely differing alien races, and "Side Effects," a chilling prophecy of the future of health care. All reveal
new aspects of a remarkable talent.
