Description
David R. Bunch's Moderan is a collection of chilling and prescient stories about ecological apocalypse and the merging of human and machine. In this world, perpetual war is waged by masters fighting from Strongholds well stocked with arsenals of fear, while the devastated earth is coated by vast sheets of gray plastic.
Humans vie to replace more and more of their own soft parts with steel, but even this seems a hollow comfort when trees and flowers can be pushed up through holes in the plastic. New-metal mistresses wait to replace human companionship, but even the strongest of wills can begin to doubt the catechism of Moderan.
This volume includes eleven previously uncollected Moderan stories, showcasing Bunch's unique vision and his ability to coin a mind-bending new vocabulary. a worthwhile read for those interested in science fiction and the horror of modernity, Moderan is a thought-provoking and unsettling collection that will leave readers questioning the world they live in.
