Este volumen contiene ocho nuevos cuentos a completar los cinco cuentos en original Libro de Sue además de las cinco historias cortas originales que aparecieron en el primer volumen del libro de los Sueños. Algunos de los temas en este libro incluyen los siguientes: ¿Qué causó realmente la falla catastrófica después de la primera prueba a gran escala del Gran Colisionador de Hadrones? Terroristas motivados e ingeniosos están a punto de intentar su propio experimento de campo para replicar los resultados clasificados de la prueba a gran escala que erradicará toda la vida en la tierra, destruirá nuestro rincón del universo y, con el tiempo, dará a luz a una nueva adición al multiverso. Si pudiéramos comunicarnos con las otras especies inteligentes y sensibles con las que compartimos nuestro planeta, ¿qué lecciones vitales podríamos aprender de ellas y ellas de nosotros? En un futuro no muy lejano en el que todos los seres humanos de la Tierra estén conectados e integrados en una sola red neuronal, ¿qué precio podría exigirse a alguien que desee optar por no participar? Si nos enteramos de que un asteroide enorme superior al que causó la extinción de los dinosauros estaba destinado a causar la extinción de nuestro planeta en dos años, ¿cuál sería la respuesta de la humanidad? Estas son algunas de las preguntas planteadas en esta colección de cuentos de ciencia ficción y ficción especulativa que explora temas que el autor desea dejen al lector pensando mucho después de acabar de leer cada uno de los cuentos.
