Quantum Nightmares - Jose M. Rodriguez - diskuze

Quantum Nightmares, a collection of dystopian sci-fi stories, contains the nuggets of bizarre psychological truth that help explain today’s divisive United States, where myth collides with belief and fact is hard to find.
The first short story details how Betty Hill (the infamous first woman to report she was abducted by aliens) offers up her eggs to save a future infertile human species, connecting her mind to the whole stream of human consciousness–past, present and future–in the process. Betty Hill’s dreams frame each of the fifteen stories in the collection. From “The Gender Revealing Party,” set in a not-too-distant future, where scientists have eliminated sexual dimorphism; to “The Five Hives,” in which teens are commanded to belong to a particular hive, each faction is led by one teen who manipulates their hive through social media to be compliant; to “Vicarious Intruders,” which explores how the infamous Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele experimented on his son, this dystopian account warns of a possible future America if it doesn’t return to some semblance of the natural world in both society, politics, and technology.
This collection of short stories can be compared to Clifford Simak’s Dusty Zebraand Other Stories or Ted Chiang’s Stories of Your Life and Others.
