Lost Among the Stars
ByPublisher Description
Horror, alternative history, science fiction, and fantasy—nothing is off limits when you possess an imagination as vast as Paul Di Filippo's. In this collection of stories featuring ancient goddesses, the new social media elite, and hermetic cities, he'll take you on a wild ride through plausible pasts and far-flung futures.
In "Ghostless," a medium learns that ghosts are drawn to—and can alleviate—sadness, so she becomes a matchmaker to both spirts and mortals in need. Flash fiction published in
magazine, "Wavehitcher" shows how surfing goes high-tech—and long-distance—with smartsuits that desalinate water, pulsed magnets to repel sharks, and seines that catch and processes krill into a nutritious paste. An expert in industrial metabolics focuses on blending his superior genepool with that of his fiancée's to save the human race from idiocracy, until a kidnapping in Colombia shows him the folly of his arrogance in "Adventures in Cognitive Homogamy."
These stories will whet your appetite for more fantastical Di Filippo, and thankfully,
delivers.

"Di Filippo is the spin doctor of SF—and it is a powerful medicine he brews." —Brian Aldiss, Hugo Award–winning author of
"Vibrant, nervy, and full of gloriously wiggy language,
is anything but the same old stuff." —
