Welcome to the Café at the End of the Internet! It’s a real swell place, full of odds and ends, intrigue and mundanity. This re-released (and expanded) speculative-fiction anthology will take you from the far edge of the galaxy to the peripheries of the seedier side of the World Wide Web. Each story explores a range of sub-genres, with unique characters who come to life on the page: From an interstellar spy on a backwater planet to a movie rental store guru who hates his job, to a former cop who wears the uniform once more in a post-apocalyptic landscape. The following stories will surely entice and entertain, as this anthology takes readers to futures near and far, all the while exploring fundamental questions concerning what it is to be human and what we do with the often-squandered gifts of intelligence and consciousness. COVER ART (COMMISSIONED): Jeff Brown Graphics FICTION BY: G. Michael Rapp (XenophonWanderer)
