Wireless by Charles Stross
Stross's work offers a potent reminder of why short stories used to be the preferred delivery method for science fiction. - The A.V. Club This selection of speculative fiction runs the gamut--from Palimpsest, a decidedly nontraditional time-travel novella, to Dawn on the Farm, an adventure of hapless secret agent Bob Howard (star of the Laundry novels: The Atrocity Archives, The Jennifer Morgue, and The Fuller Memorandum). Also included are MAXOS, a stunning example of the new flash-fiction form; his Locus Award-winning novella, Missile Gap; and Unwirer, a collaboration with Cory Doctorow. Rounding out the contents are A Colder War, Rogue Farm, Trunk and Disorderly, and Snowball's Chance, four unique, genre-bending tales that could only come from the limitless imagination of one of the twenty-first century's most daring visionaries, Charles Stross.
