Douglas Adams

J. G. Ballard
Marc Laidlaw
Michael Swanwick
M. Shayne Bell
Jonathan Lethem
& William Gibson
Ray Bradbury

Philip K. Dick
Whether anticipating the visual, aural, and tactile dimensions of VR or expanding on the new technology, the fifteen stories here all sparkle with outstanding writing and challenging ideas. They will stir you to contemplate the ethical, social, political, and metaphysical effects virtual reality may have on human beings. They will propel you from the possibilities of hard science to the inner limits of the imagi-nation.
