Future Dreams and Nightmares is an anthology of science fiction short stories. If you enjoyed episodes of the TV series The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, then this book is for you.
An oligarch’s deathbed confession leads to one last crime. A woman’s multiple resurrections point to a serial killer. A man’s latest upgrade results in the last of his original equipment. A successful operation unexpectedly violates a neurosurgeon’s Hippocratic oath. A man must deal with the unintended consequences of jumping between timelines to fight terrorists. A lonely spacer’s visit to an alien brothel turns out to be exactly what he needed. An exobiologist studies an alien species’ strange reproductive biology. A successful medical procedure without informed consent has deadly consequences. Government-approved history lessons hide a forbidden truth. A man uses a time machine to undo his one great regret.
My Review:
What an interesting set of short stories Future Dreams and Nightmares has. Each one will keep you guessing and a whole lot to think about. There is plenty of suspense and mystery to keep them interesting and very intriguing. Each will blow your mind in many different ways. Each is a blast to read.
MEMORIES
Imagine walking into a clinic expecting one thing but walking out with something entirely different. Would the results be good or bad? Payback is a … Great story with a twist.
MIND TRAP
A very interesting story with several twists. The title is very fitting. Evil little man. But is he the only one?
A MIND FULL OF MEMORIES
Imagine waking up and your life is completely different than you imagined or thought it to be. What a mind-twister this one is.
EVERLIFE
Imagine your life not being what you believe it to be. Full of mystery and suspense with many, many twists.
ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
Imagine being able to upgrade more than your memories. Leaves you with a lot to think about.
A JUMP TOO FAR
The suspense kept me anxiously awaiting wanting to know what exactly was too far.
WE SERVICE ALL
The title is very fitting but leaves you with a lot to think about. Wondering what lies between the pages. If you could have your heart's desire should you even if you know it may not be real? Would it be harmful or helpful?
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FOURTH KIND
This one is full of twists that will keep you hanging on to every word waiting for the big climax. How far should you go to be nice to someone? How far should you go to show someone that you mean them no harm?
HISTORY IS WRITTEN
Makes you wonder if you can really and truly believe anything you have been told or taught. If any of it is real or not.
