“In Communications Breakdown, award-winning editor Jonathan Strahan asks some of the world's best science fiction writers to consider how the very idea of communication might change in the future. Rich terrain for speculation, this anthology brims with human stories about the future face of our age-old need to connect. As cyberpunk pioneer William Gibson said, ‘The future is already here - it's just not evenly distributed.’ So what happens when inequalities keep the future from everyone's front door? Who is in control? These stories show humanity's ability to construct the best possible worlds while also battling our potential to inflict unlimited harm.” Elizabeth Bear, Cory Doctorow, Ken acLeod, Ian McDonald and others. #72921
