The meltdown at Three Mile Island created the death zone known as the Drift, where the sky burned dark blue and pink, and where boneseekers destroyed bodies within. Two-headed monsters, dog-faced boys, mutated vampires and other undesirables were thrown into the Drift. Now, they're coming out.

When Mendeleev set forth the Periodic Table of the Elements, he revolutionised chemistry-but just as importantly, he planted the seeds for Michael Swanwick's Periodic Table of Science Fiction. Now, after their epochal appearances online, this collection gathers together the one hundred and eighteen stories of the PTSF in print for the first time, in their definitive form. Life, Chemistry, and Science Fiction will never be the same again. Swanwick, grand master of the SF short story and absolute master of the short-short, is at his exuberant and ingenious best in these tales, each inspired by a single chemical element. Here are cosmos-spanning future histories, slyly conceived alternative timelines, shockingly subversive secret chronicles of intellectual passion, divine jests, and fragments of incomparable wisdom. In The Periodic Table of Science Fiction, revelations flow like heady wine: the real reason the Hindenburg exploded; how to measure the apocalyptic mood swings of God; why you never want pond scum to preside over your office; which is the most boring element in existence; how the Plains Indians adopted not the horse but the motorcycle; the best way to avert a spaceship hijacking; how to make a fortune in interplanetary metals prospecting; robot ideology; and much, much more. If Mendeleev encompassed all matter in his Periodic Table, Michael Swanwick's encompasses all that really matters .

Stations des profondeurs

À son réveil dans un hôpital du Kluster d'Éros, rebelle découvre plusieurs choses dérangeantes. Primo, qu'elle était morte. Secundo, qu'elle n'a plus le même corps. Tertio, que ce corps est la propriété de la Deutsche Nakasone GmbH. Quarto, que les souvenirs d'une personnalité antérieure reviennent la hanter : ceux d'Eucrasia, cométaire, fille de sorcière, as du flugiciel, devenue pique-rôle par défi. Et quand en plus Rebelle/Eucrasia tombe amoureuse d'un baroudeur qu'elle contribua naguère à doter de quatre (oui, quatre) personnalités indépendantes, elle sent que son odyssée ne fait que commencer. Une odyssée qui, de navette en colonie spatiale, du nuage d'Oort à la ceinture d'astéroïdes, des satellites de Mars aux cités circumlunaires, la mènera jusqu'à une Terre étrangère, devenue ruche consciente.
