Description:

Cyborgs. Part-robot, part-human. Even now, with our pacemakers, our holographic eyewear, our cybernetic limbs, it is difficult to deny that we are approaching an age when the line between humankind and machine is beginning to blur.

In this latest title in the acclaimed Future Chronicles series of speculative fiction anthologies, twelve authors face the question: In the age of the cybernetic organism, in a world where electro-mechanical components are beginning to take the place of biological limbs, what is the measure of a man?

The Cyborg Chronicles features stories by Hugo Award-winner Ken Liu ( The Grace of Kings ), USA Today bestselling author and Alfie Award-winner Annie Bellet ( Twenty-Sided Sorceress ) and ten more of today's top speculative fiction writers.

Cyborgs. Part-robot. Part-human. Even now, with our pacemakers, our holographic eyewear, our cybernetic limbs, it is difficult to deny that we are approaching an age when the line between humankind and machine is beginning to blur.

In the age of the 'post-human' being, in a world when your humanity can be measured by the number of electro-mechanical components that have replaced your biological limbs, what will be the measure of a man?

In 'The Cyborg Chronicles', twelve of today's top speculative fiction writers explore the approaching collision of humanity and technology.
