In Qin, every citizen is fitted with a Mindbank, an intracranial device capable of not only recording but transferring memories between minds.

Everyone expected great things of Rynn when he became a Time Cop. After all, his father was the head of the department, so he'd been training for years. Yet, he never expected that as a brand new member of the force that he'd be pulled through a space anomaly where he would have to face magic, beasts, and intrigues in worlds that were like nothing he'd ever experienced.

Impiegato agli archivi del Ministero della Verità, dove revisiona la storia per adattarla alla narrativa del Partito, Winston coltiva in segreto il sogno della libertà. In un mondo in cui amore e sesso sono proibiti, e dove è difficile discernere tra amico e nemico, Winston incontra Julia e O'Brien, e insieme decidono di ribellarsi.

2 aprile 1985, ore 8.35 A Irisburg, una piccola città nella penisola scandinava, Nikki condivide una vita tranquilla e felice con la sua compagna Simone. Fuori c’è un mondo nuovo: il vecchio mondo patriarcale è stato spazzato via dal Contagio, una pandemia che per generazioni lo ha devastato. Il Contagio infatti era diffuso dagli uomini, che ora vengono quindi tenuti in quarantene a prova di fuga, mentre la società è riservata alle donne, chiamate “portatrici”. Solo così si può evitare che i corpi di portatrici e “diffusori” entrino in contatto.

Over two centuries have passed since the Third World War reduced civilization to ashes in a global nuclear inferno. Unforgiving geomagnetic storms rage, blocking out the sun and poisoning the radioactive Earth.

But this is not the story of the Hell Divers.

Sesenta años después del accidente biológico que erradicó al treinta por ciento de la población en Nueva Iberia, la muerte se ha convertido en un lucrativo negocio. Los difuntos ya no son enterrados ni incinerados, sino sublimados y liberados a la atmósfera en forma de un gas inocuo. Quienes no pueden pagar la sublimación se ven obligados a ceder los cuerpos de sus seres queridos a la ciencia, sin saber dónde acabarán ni qué harán con ellos. Este es el caso de León, un joven de los suburbios que removerá cielo y tierra hasta encontrar el cadáver de su hermana para darle una despedida digna.

Adam Hammond is at home with his wife, Addy, and son, Tate, when the end of the world begins. The sirens that blast from the city below the suburbs are an indication that something is wrong. They are a message that something has changed in the world and their lives will never be the same.

La ciencia ficción siempre está ahí, donde ocurre la vida contemporánea: en las películas, en las series de TV, en los videojuegos, en las celebraciones públicas, en las tiras cómicas, en las cabinas de internet. Para demostrarlo, Esta realidad no existe, confeccionada por los escritores Alexis Iparraguirre y Francisco Joaquín Marro, reúne las historias vertiginosas de catorce autores que reconstruyen el mundo desde el ciberpunk, las realidades paralelas, las distopías, monstruos y criaturas extrañas, conservando, sin embargo, una de las dudas más realistas posibles.

The thesis of this story is that “because of the development of scientific knowledge, separate sovereign states and separate sovereign empires are no longer possible in the world. To attempt to keep on with the old system is to heap disaster upon disaster for [hu]mankind and perhaps to destroy our race altogether. The remaining interest of this book now is the sustained validity of this thesis and the discussion of the possible ending of war on the earth.”

Jacob, Ron, and the two editors-in-chief are on their way to a meeting that will be held at the Washington Sentinel's building.
