Insistence of Vision: Stories

So enter it prepared! Here are vivid tales about
possible tomorrows, from the keen eye and colorful pen of David Brin, a
modern master of speculative fiction. Visit a chillingly plausible
tomorrow, when prisoners may be sent to asteroidal gulags. Or might
prisons vanish and felons roam, seeing only what society allows?
Suppose, amid lavish success, we gain the superpower to fly! Will we
even appreciate it or will we find new reasons to complain? 

In "Mars

confronting humanity with a stark and terrible choice followed by
several more tales of conquest from beyond, each of them wildly

emerge out of ourselves, as revealed in "Chrysalis ? 

Featuring guest
appearances by Gregory Benford, Jules Verne, and Galileo, this adventure
takes you beyond the very singularity in Stones of Significance,
pondering what could happen after humans are like gods. And Reality
Check asks one of you readers just one of you to wake up! Tomorrow
awaits. We can face it and prevail. So long as our stance is brave
