How to Save the World Paperback - 1998

by Sheffield, Charles


From the publisher

Outrageous times call for outrageous measures. From the terraforming of Titan to viruses that alter wrongdoers' DNA, from legalized electronic dueling to contraceptives that select for sex, here is a fistful of provocative, engaging, and above all entertaining tales of Big Science brought to bear on the woes of the world.

Writes Charles Sheffield, "Some of the stories in this book may offend. I certainly hope so". Larry Niven, James P. Hogan, Jerry Pournelle, Doug Beason, Lawrence Watt-Evans, and a passel of others each take aim at our prejudices and our preconceptions -- with surprising results.
