Comments

It has been said that the natural state of science fiction is the short story. If that is so, you won't find a better exploration of that state than Charles Stross's new collection. Centred around an original and previously unpublished novella, Palimpsest, and including the Locus Award-winning Missile Gap, WIRELESS is an essential collection for anybody who enjoys cutting edge SF.

With an introduction from the author and containing hitherto uncollected works such as Missile Gap, Trunk and Disorderly and Rogue Farm, and some gems previously available only in small press publications, such as A Colder War and Antibodies, WIRELESS will illustrate perfectly why award-winning editor and anthologist, Gardner Dozois, once declared: "Where Charles Stross goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow".
