Space & Time No. 123: Spring 2015

What remains of the self when identity, memory, violence, and even imagination can be rewritten?

In Space & Time No. 123, the boundaries between myth and machinery, mercy and survival, and creation and control begin to fracture.

Kate Woodbury’s “Solvency” follows a powerful corporate broker who discovers that his new wife has been chemically transforming herself and may not be the woman he thought he married. In Adam Corbin Fusco’s “The Raven & The Dove,” the story of the Great Flood becomes an epic struggle to save the dragons, sphinxes, giants, and other creatures Noah was commanded to abandon. Suzanne van Rooyen sends a captive seer into a frozen wasteland where the restless dead may determine the outcome of an interplanetary war, while Joseph L. Kellogg imagines a post-virus world in which nearly everyone has become incapable of violence and the few who can still kill are both feared and desperately needed.

Also featuring fiction by David Steffen, Gwendolyn Clare, Samuel Marzioli, Amanda C. Davis, and Larry Hodges; speculative poetry selected by Linda D. Addison; Daniel M. Kimmel’s examination of the enduring horror of Donovan’s Brain; and an in-depth interview with award-winning science-fiction author Nancy Kress on hard SF, character, influence, and the craft of imagining possible futures. Edited by Hildy Silverman, this dark, strange, and unexpectedly moving collection explores what survives us: memory, music, rebellion, and the stories we leave behind.

A provocative collection of science fiction, fantasy, horror, poetry, art, and conversation from the pages of Space & Time.
