When the line between life and technology blurs, humanity must adjust its understanding of the universe. From bestselling author Christopher L. Bennett comes Among the Wild Cybers, eight tales portraying a future of challenge and conflict, but also of hope born from the courage and idealism of those heroes willing to stand up for what is right.
• An intrepid naturalist risks her future to save a new form of life that few consider worth saving.
• An apprentice superhero must stand alone against an insane superintelligence to earn her name.
• A cybernetic slave fights to save her kind from a liberation not of their choosing.
• A seasoned diplomat and mother must out-negotiate fearsome alien traders to save a colony's children.
• A homicide detective serves in a world where curing death has only made murder more baffling.
These and other heroes strive to make their corners of the universe better-no matter how much the odds are stacked against them.
Includes the brand-new tale, Aspiring to Be Angels, prequel to the novel Only Superhuman.
