A thought-provoking collection of slick, smart science fiction heavy with transhuman and cyberpunk themes with none of the pretension that comes with the standard "cyberpunk" fare. The author introduces the reader to worlds akin to Clarke and Asimov but with a firm grounding in our own human history and cultures.

M-FUNK VS THA FUTUREGIONS OF INVERSE FUNKATIVITY may be my new favorite short story of all time. The other stories are pretty great, too. If Neo-Decadence ever enters the mainstream, I reckon Justin Isis will be getting some awards.
