In a strange, seriously funny and stunningly inventive collection of stories all set in the same disturbingly dystopian tomorrow, acclaimed sf innovator Paul DiFilippo demonstrates that the future isn't electronic, nuclear, or cyber...it's organic. Here is an Earth where bodies and brains are routinely genetically/chemically modified; where laboratory-created Splices do the dirty work -- as long as their genetic makeup is less than haft human -- and, sometimes, go renegade, forcing the Protein Police to hunt them down like dogs. In this world, potentially apocalyptic threats -- viral, mental, virtual, physical, and brain-fryingly toxic -- are everywhere, inside and out, the outrageous end-products of unchecked biological tinkering with our surroundings and ourselves. You will never forget this brave new world: it's a future that will swallow you whole.
