tablelands of South America to deep space, this is a wide-ranging and utterly original collection of short fiction and a novella that examines the idea of progress - humanity’s never-ending cycle of creation and destruction.

In “Da Capo al Fine,” set in eighteenth-century France, the creator of the fortepiano designs another, more brutal instrument.
