Author Description

The long-awaited second collection from Justin Isis takes us on a sharp turn away from the 'Huysmans in Tokyo' feel of his first and into a world of near- and far-future shocks. Torrents of alien language and remixed fragments of science fiction hauntology merge in the valley of the shadow of the singularity, while atomized characters scramble for self and meaning only to find themselves overwritten or revised out of reality. Churches made of meat, spaceships powered by song, simulated authors and a soul-warping artwork that may or may not exist - in these ten stories you will be confronted with a garish neon blueprint of post-humanity. Welcome to tomorrow. Welcome to the Arms Race.
