Including an unpublished work, Watts posits unlimited brain-computer interfaces, the possibility of life existing inside stars, the hacking of human behavior, and ecological collapse. (Also, the healing power of revenge.)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat if a weaponized water supply reprograms pattern recognition in the brain, provoking violent rage at the sight of the Google logo. Or an accidental hive-mind creates a global agenda to resurrect itself in the scant seconds between its emergence and dissolution? A steroidal jump gate-building ship attempts to survive passage through a red-giant sun by hiding inside an ice-giant planet. When \u003ci\u003esomething\u003c\/i\u003e is trying to colonize the sun, humans try to stop it. Spoiler alert: Nobody comes off very well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his newest short fiction, alongside an introduction by Richard K. Morgan, Watts (\u003ci\u003eThe Freeze-Frame Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e) reserves whatever hope he has for whatever comes after humans. In light of his stories and recent events, it is difficult to fault that assessment.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Tachyon Publications","offers":[{"title":"Fold Catastrophes | Peter Watts | Paperback | 9781616964672 | New | Sci-Fi \u0026 Fantasy 1749556","offer_id":49980556312728,"sku":"1749556","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81YZvLHe_tL.jpg?v=1790168564","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/fold-catastrophes","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
