They may soon live among us: cyborgs, genetically enhanced humans, interspecies hybrids, androids, artificial intelligences, aliens in disguise. How will they feel and act toward their human siblings? How will humans react to them? And how will all our lives change as a result?
These questions are answered in Beyond Human: Tales of the New Us, the second anthology from Lower Deck Press. Featuring 22 short stories produced by the Crew’s Quarters writing group, this collection highlights the perspectives and experiences of writers from all walks of life and from all across the globe. What awaits at the intersection of the strange and the familiar is … Beyond Human.
All proceeds from the sale of this anthology go to The World Literacy Foundation.
