The Roamers by Francesco Verso
The Pulldogs are a group of people that undergo anthropological transformations caused by nanites. This changes the way they eat and gives rise to a culture reminiscent of a creative and sustainable nomadic society. Using 3D printers and cloud computing, the Pulldogs make an impossible and anachronistic choice. Is this new life really the best one?"Our world is closing in. We're in danger of becoming parochial and tribal. This is why Francesco Verso is such an important voice in SF. Here's a writer and publisher from outside the anglosphere, not just reminding us that SFF is a global literature and a global language but working in tireless support of writers and literature from all across the planet. Listen to what he has to say." -- Ian McDonald
"The Roamers is an urgent, impassioned work for our times that cements Francesco Verso’s place at the forefront of European SF writers working today. Not to be missed!" -- Lavie Tidhar
