Tesseracts 3 Canadian Science Fiction Author:Candas Jane Dorsey (Editor), Gerry Truscott (Editor) The Tesseracts tradition is to have different editors for each anthology collection. Again a talented team of editors chosen for their diversity, Candas Jane Dorsey and Gerry Truscott, have assembled a stellar line-up of Canadian speculative writers of short fiction and poetry. Includes works from authors Dave Duncan, Charles de Lint... more », Hugo and Nebula award winner William Gibson, and Margaret Atwood, winner of the Giller Prize, the Governor Generals Award and the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Science Fiction. Explore new worlds of alternate realities in time and space ... travel to a planet where the five senses are not good enough ... watch a baseball game on Mars ... fly with Garuda, the king of birds, to see what kind of human folly he can find to amuse the gods ... visit a laundromat that can take you anywhere in space and time ... stroll through a holograph of the last forest on earth ... see if time will end with a jolt or a gradual slide.
