Title :
Schild's LadderAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book When the laws of physics are suddenly called into question, a whole new potential for life and death is brought to the entire universe. For twenty thousand years, every phenomenon that has ever been observed in the universe has been explainable through the means of the Sarumpaet Rules. These rules are the essential laws of quantum graphs that explain the makeup of the geometric structure of space-time. Cass, a humanoid physicist from Earth, discovers that the Sarumpaet Rules may not be the only applicable set of the laws of physics in the universe. Cass travels to a remote experimental facility in hopes to test her theory?that the ?novo-vacuum” will begin to decay the moment it is created. Cass’s theory proves greater than she’d anticipated, and the ?novo-vacuum” begins to expand out from the research facility at half the speed of light. More than six hundred years pass, and at least two thousand inhabited systems have been consumed by the ?novo-vacuum.” Those fascinated by the phenomenon choose to study it under two differing categories: Preservationists and Yielders. Preservationists are forever hypothesizing on how to destroy the vacuum; Yielders believe it holds a purpose in reinvigorating civilization. Tchicaya is a Yielder and Mariama is a Preservationist. These childhood friends will put their beliefs and their history to the test when violence breaks out among the two groups. Tchicaya must form an alliance with Mariama so that she can help them both escape the violence and confront the fate of the universe before it is too late. € 14,30

Title :
DistressAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book ?All right. He’s dead. Go ahead and talk to him.” It is the year 2055, and the battle of the sexes has seven combatants rather than two. ?The illusion of empathy” has been dispensed with, and a few idealistic souls try to create a utopia with pirated technology. But a wired journalist, Andrew Worth, doesn’t want any part of the pop ?Frankenscience” regularly dished out to the masses. Burned-out after completing a documentary on controversial developments in biotechnology, he turns down a chance to report on a baffling new mental disorder known as Distress and instead takes an assignment covering the Einstein Centenary Conference on the artificial island of Stateless. There, a young South African physicist, Violet Mosala, is expected to unveil her candidate for a Theory of Everything. But the assignment is not the tropical respite Worth was expecting. Unfortunately academia’s facade of civility is dangerously cracked with a seething maelstrom of plotting, assassination attempts, and rebellion, and Worth is dragged down into the nightmare. The world’s only hope for survival lies in Violet Mosala’s development of a final Theory of Everything, but whether it will lead to the total destruction of life as we know it or the complete remaking of the universe may be a risk too dangerous to take. Greg Egan’s audacious voice and literary scope create a fragmented futuristic world where technology and bioengineering threaten humanity’s very existence. € 14,30

Title :
DiasporaAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book A quantum Brave New World from the boldest and most wildly speculative writer of his generation. Since the Introdus in the twenty-first century, humanity has reconfigured itself drastically. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to become conscious software. Others opted for gleisners: disposable, renewable robotic bodies that remain in contact with the physical world of force and friction. Many of these have left the solar system forever in fusion-drive starships. And there are the holdouts: the fleshers left behind in the muck and jungle of Earth?some devolved into dream apes, others cavorting in the seas or the air?while the statics and bridgers try to shape out a roughly human destiny. But the complacency of the citizens is shattered when an unforeseen disaster ravages the fleshers and reveals the possibility that the polises themselves might be at risk from bizarre astrophysical processes that seem to violate fundamental laws of nature. The orphan Yatima, a digital being grown from a mind seed, joins a group of citizens and flesher refugees in a search for the knowledge that will guarantee their safety?a search that puts them on the trail of the ancient and elusive Transmuters, who have the power to reshape subatomic particles, and to cross into the macrocosmos, where the universe we know is nothing but a speck in the higher-dimensional vacuum. € 14,30

Title :
QuarantineAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book “Taut, suspenseful, darkly powerful . . . Egan is on his way, and with considerable velocity!” —Gardener Dozois, editor, The Year's Best SF In 2034, the stars went out. Riots and religions break out after an unknown agency surrounds the solar system with an impenetrable barrier, now leaving the universe in darkness. While some see this act as revenge from God, others see it as protection. The only thing known is that for now and forever, Earth and the universe shall never be connected again. Or so it seems. In 2067, PI Nick Stavrianos is hired to investigate the disappearance of Laura, a mentally disabled woman. The trail leads him to the Republic of New Hong Kong, where an organization known as the Ensemble has uncovered Laura’s secret and the only possible way she could have escaped from the institution: her ability to walk through walls. It’s up to Nick not only to find out what the Ensemble plans to do with Laura, but also—if he can—to get her before her powers transform the world. Will it be for good or bad? That’s the question Nick has to answer. From the mind of Hugo Award–winning author Greg Egan, Quarantine is a tour de force of hard science fiction that will grip you from the first page and not let go. Originally published more than twenty years ago, Quarantine is now back in print and available to readers again. € 14,30

Title :
AxiomaticAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book ?Wonderful, mind-expanding stuff, and well written too.” ?The Guardian Axiomatic is a wonderful collection of eighteen short stories by Hugo Award?winning author Greg Egan. The stories in this collection have appeared in such science fiction magazines as Interzone and Asimov’s between 1989 and 1992. From junkies who drink at the time-stream to love affairs in time-reversed galaxies; from gene-altered dolphins that converse only in limericks to the program that allows you to design your own child; from the brain implants called axiomatics to the strange attractors that spin off new religions; from bioengineering to the new physics; and from cyberpunk to the electronic frontier, Greg Egan’s future is frighteningly close to our own present. Included in this collection are such wonderful stories as: ?Axiomatic” ?Into Darkness” ?The Safe-Deposit Box” ?Blood Sisters” And many more! Axiomatic is the perfect collection for any science fiction fan, especially one who enjoys Greg Egan’s work. The stories are imaginative and insightful, and written only the way that Greg Egan can do so. € 14,30

Title :
Permutation CityAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book What happens when your digital self overpowers your physical self? A life in Permutation City is unlike any life to which you’re accustomed. You have Eternal Life, the power to live forever. Immortality is a real thing, just not the thing you’d expect. Life is just electronic code. You have been digitized, scanned, and downloaded into a virtual reality program. A Copy of a Copy. For Paul Durham, he keeps making Copies of himself, but the issue is that his Copies keep changing their minds and shutting themselves down. You also have Maria Deluca, who is nothing but an Autoverse addict. She spends every waking minute with the cellular automaton known as the Autoverse, a world that lives by the mathematical ?laws of physics.” Paul makes Maria an offer to design and drop a seed into the Autoverse that will allow her to indulge in her obsession. There is, however, one catch: you can no longer terminate, bail out, and remove yourself. You will never be your normal flesh-and-blood life again. The question then becomes: Is this what she really wants? Is this what we really want? From the brilliant mind of Greg Egan, Permutation City, first published in 1994, comes a world of wonder that makes you ask if you are you, or is the Copy of you the real you? € 14,30

Title :
The Arrows of TimeAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book In the alien universe of The Clockwork Rocket and The Eternal Flame, the travelers on the generation ship Peerless have completed a long struggle to develop advanced technology that could save their home world. But as tensions mount over the risks of turning the ship around and starting the long voyage home, a new complication arises: the prospect of constructing a messaging system that will give the Peerless news of its own future. While some see this as a guarantee of safety and a chance to learn of their mission's ultimate success, others are convinced that the knowledge will be oppressive. When these differences lead to violence, four of the crew must embark on the strangest journey they have ever undertaken: visiting a world where the arrow of time is reversed. € 24,90

Title :
The Eternal FlameAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book Greg Egan’s The Clockwork Rocket introduced readers to an exotic universe where the laws of physics are very different from our own, where the speed of light varies in ways Einstein would never allow, and where intelligent life has evolved in unique and fascinating ways. Now Egan continues his epic tale of alien beings embarked on a desperate voyage to save their world . . . . The generation ship Peerless is in search of advanced technology capable of sparing their home planet from imminent destruction. In theory, the ship is traveling fast enough that it can traverse the cosmos for generations?and still return home only a few years after they departed. But a critical fuel shortage threatens to cut their urgent voyage short, even as a population explosion stretches the ship’s life-support capacity to its limits. When the astronomer Tamara discovers the Object, a meteor whose trajectory will bring it within range of the Peerless, she sees a risky solution to the fuel crisis. Meanwhile, the biologist Carlo searches for a better way to control fertility, despite the traditions and prejudices of their society. As the scientists clash with the ship’s leaders, they find themselves caught up in two equally dangerous revolutions: one in the sexual roles of their species, the other in their very understanding of the nature of matter and energy. The Eternal Flame lights up the mind with dazzling new frontiers of physics and biology, as only Greg Egan could imagine them. € 13,40

Title :
L'ultimo diarioAuthor: Greganti Marco Publisher: Cut-Up È la storia di Arianna, un'adolescente come tante, che assiste alla fine del mondo così come lo conosciamo: creature gigantesche sono emerse dagli abissi e hanno spazzato via ogni cosa. Ispirato ai monster movies giapponesi, ma ambientato in Italia, è un horror fantascientifico realizzato in forma di diario. Tra il romantico e il catastrofico, tra tenerezza e disperazione, un mockumentary young adults che è anche un insolito racconto di formazione. Marco Greganti cesella la tensione, ricamando misteri, tagliando e cucendo il tempo, scavando efficaci ellissi il cui vuoto viene colmato poco a poco. Tra le pagine e dalle pagine filtrano interrogativi sulla vita, su Dio, sulla natura ferina dell'uomo, sul senso del nostro stare al mondo una volta che il mondo come lo conosciamo è perduto per sempre. € 15,00

Title :
Vivere la sieropositività. I giovani, la comunità, l'aidsAuthor: Di Chio C. (cur.); Fedi A. (cur.); Greganti K. (cur.) Publisher: Liguori Se la domanda 'Chi sono io?' è centrale in adolescenza, per i giovani sieropositivi tale domanda diventa una sfida ancora più impegnativa. Non è difficile intuire come questa condizione ponga una serie di difficoltà rispetto all'autodefinizione, agli aspetti relazionali e sociali, e in termini di capacità di rappresentarsi nel futuro. Stigma e segreti rischiano di diventare i tratti caratterizzanti la vita di questi ragazzi minando alla base la possibilità di vivere relazioni autentiche e soddisfacenti. Ancora più che nelle 'abituali e difficili' relazioni quotidiane, i ragazzi sieropositivi avvertono il fisiologico bisogno di ambiti, protetti ma non etichettanti, in cui essere sé stessi dando forma alla relazione in un contesto di fiducia. Il testo raccoglie la lettura interpretativa delle storie di vita di venti giovani HIV positivi, da parte di vari professionisti (medici, psicologi, sessuologi, antropologi ecc.) affrontando un tema inedito e colmando, così, un vuoto nella letteratura. I diritti d'autore del libro sono devoluti all'Associazione Arcobaleno Aids Onlus. € 18,99

Title :
The Clockwork RocketAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Nightshade Book In Yalda's universe, light has no universal speed and its creation generates energy. On Yalda's world, plants make food by emitting their own light into the dark night sky. As a child Yalda witnesses one of a series of strange meteors, the Hurtlers, that is entering the planetary system at an immense, unprecedented speed. It becomes apparent that her world is in imminent danger?and that the task of dealing with the Hurtlers will require knowledge and technology far beyond anything her civilization has yet achieved. Only one solution seems tenable: if a spacecraft can be sent on a journey at suffi ciently high speed, its trip will last many generations for those on board, but it will return after just a few years have passed at home. The travelers will have a chance to discover the science their planet urgently needs, and bring it back in time to avert disaster. Orthogonal is the story of Yalda and her descendants, trying to survive the perils of their long mission and carve out meaningful lives for themselves, while the threat of annihilation hangs over the world they left behind. € 13,40

OceanicAuthor: Egan Greg Publisher: Delos Books Le antiche scritture tramandavano i ricordi di una Terra dove i mari erano turbolenti e popolati da pericolose creature, tuttavia su Covenant l'oceano era calmo perché gli Angeli lo avevano pervaso di ecopoiesi che aveva favorito la loro mortale incarnazione. Martin, figlio secondogenito di una famiglia di Oceanici, popolo che vive sull'acqua al contrario dei Terricoli che abitano nelle terre emerse, da piccolo, spinto dal fratello, ha avuto la sua personale e mistica esperienza dell'immersione e da quel momento è diventato un devoto seguace di Beatrice, la figlia di Dio in cui crede la gente di Covenant. Ma quando comincia i suoi studi di biologia il suo lavoro lo porta a una sconvolgente rivelazione sulla verità di Covenant. € 9,00
