Produktbeschreibung
Spacebraid and Other Tales of a Dystopian Universe is a collection of one novella and seven short stories that explore the most powerful of human emotions, fears and desires in settings sometimes hostile, sometimes surreal, and always a bit off-kilter. The tales vary from the humorous to the tragic, from the idealistic yearning of the hero in Darwin to the horrifying fate of Godfrey in Heisenberg in the Macro. Spacebraid, the longest piece in the collection, is the story of a dedicated group of individuals led by a brilliant theoretical physicist in a dash through time to circumvent ecological disaster and, in so doing, to preserve the best hopes and dreams of humankind. Be forewarned that these stories are not for the faint of heart. They are meant to connect at a viscerally potent level, challenge thought and, in the end, place us in touch with our own values, hopes and fears. Take the journey. It'll be a great ride.
Autorenporträt
J. Allan Wolf has authored two other works of fiction: Spacebraid and Other Tales of a Dystopian Universe, a collection of science fiction and fantasy stories, and Zendoscopy, the funny and touching story of a kid named Sherman and his often painful coming of age. Wolf is a retired physician who lives with his first (and only) wife in Southern California. The couple has two grown, married daughters who left West Coast paradise years ago for the thrills of Midwest living. They have two grandchildren who will likely grow up thinking Grampa is one weird dude: a self-described nerd who spends his free time trying-without success-to be a guitar rock god and pursuing his lifelong hobby of amateur ("ham") radio. Yes, that's right. Ham radio. Sheesh.
