Transhuman

1. New York Times best-selling author John Ringo raved about Mark van Name’s novel “One Jump Ahead is like well-aged white lightning: it goes down smooth then delivers a kick that knocks you on the floor.” 2. Best-selling science fiction master Orson Scott Card concurs, writing that One Jump Ahead has “a hero who is worth at least a dozen more novels. I want this to be a series. I want to read a new one every year.” 3. This is cutting-edge science fiction, from the rapidly advancing frontiers of the cybernetic/human interface. 4. Advertising in Locus, more.The rate of technological development today is exploding. Such diverse technologies as computing, communications, genetics, biology, and nanotechnology are rapidly pushing humanity to a new singularity, a point at which all the rules change and everything we assume about what it means to be human may no longer apply. Leading science fiction writers such as Wil McCarthy, Esther Friesner, James P. Hogan, Hugo-winner David D. Levine, Dave Freer, Wen Spencer, Mark L. Van Name, and others explore this strangest of new frontiers. From a criminal given a last chance at life in a very new kind of existence to a man struggling to claim his own humanity, from battles in the depths of very strange spaces to an amazing new version of keeping up with the Joneses, the stories in Transhuman take you where no human has gone before--but where many of us might one day go.
