Science Fiction
Are aliens really not interested in us at all? Is there a
significant health benefit from drinking your own urine? Is
loading your personality into a computer the best way to
survive the death of the body? Is the death of the body
really necessary? Here are a very large number of very
small fictions on the subject of the future and what it
might be like. The authors include scientists, journalists,
and many of the most famous SF writers in the world. Futures from Nature includes everything from satires and
vignettes to compressed stories and fictional book reviews,
science articles, and journalism, in eight-hundred-word
modules. All of them are entertaining and as a group they
are a startling repository of ideas and attitudes about the
future. These pieces were originally published in the great
science journal Nature between 1999 and 2006, as one-page
features that proved very popular with readers. This is a
unique book, of interest to any reader who might like to
speculate about the future.
