Thoreau's Microscope by Michael Blumlein

The politics and terrors of biotech, human engineering, and brain science are given startling fictional form in a selection of short stories with Michael Blumlein's signature mix of fantasy, science fiction, horror, and wicked humour. The title piece, 'Thoreau's Microscope,' is a stunning mix of hypothesis and history, in which the author inhabits Thoreau's last days to explore the politics of impersonal science and personal liberation - a journey as illuminating as it is disturbing.
Michael Blumlein is the author ofThe Movement of Mountains (St. Martin's Press, 1987) and X, Y (Dell, 1993), as well as the award-winning story collection The Brains of Rats (Scream Press, 1990, re-released by Dell in 1997). A frequent contributor to the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and Interzone, his short stories have been anthologized many times, including several appearances in the prestigious The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror Annual Collection and The Year's Best Science Fiction. He has been nominated twice for the World Fantasy Award and twice for the Bram Stoker Award. He has written for the stage and for film. His novel X, Y was recently made into a movie. In addition to writing, Dr. Blumlein practices and teaches medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. Visit him online atwww.michaelblumlein.com
