Hyperpowers (Third Flatiron Anthologies, #6) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Fictional military superpowers have captured our imaginations since Plato invented Atlantis, and superpowers are all too real in today's technological world. How would our stories evolve if they took place on other worlds? "Hyperpowers" from Third Flatiron Anthologies, guest-edited by Bascomb James, takes on the challenge of telling short speculative fiction stories that explore space opera and military fiction themes. These tales raise potent issues such as: o Empires may grow and dominate, but civilizations can also lose momentum and dissipate into lawlessness o Great distances may put an end to warfare and environmental degradation, but expansionist tendencies could cause it to spread instead o Our silicon-based creations or other life forms may compete with us for galactic domination, ultimately outshining us The international group of contributors includes William Huggins, Jonathan Shipley, Dan Koboldt, John M. Campbell, Mark Rookyard, Sam Bellotto Jr., Erik B. Scott, E. J. Shumak, Brandon L. Summers, Neil James Hudson, Robert Walton, K. S. Dearsley, Noel Ayers, Elliotte Rusty Harold, Martin Clark, and Art Lasky. And as usual, our "Grins and Gurgles" humor section allows a light-hearted take on the subject.
