Compassion Fatigue: ...and Other Stories of the Indecent Past, Weird Present, and Feared Future - Rilegato
Sinossi
A father comforts his young son, hoping against hope their last little island of the Azorean archipelago won't be strip mined by the Singularity.
A couple choose a cheap upload for the consciousness of their young daughter who is dying from a disease they can't afford to cure.
A tourist doing yoga on a Canary Island beach watches the distance diminish between himself and the African refugees landing on a European shore.
A soldier is debriefed after witnessing unimaginable violence ending in an encounter with a mythical being.
Humberto da Silva's prophetic, disturbingly realized stories remind us of the bizarre, disorienting, and occasionally horrifying nature of life in the recent past, the weird present, and the fearful future.
Humans are adaptable, love is enduring, but it will get weird.
Compassion Fatigue is an unnerving, and occasionally funny, collection of speculative fiction.
