"Grey Rabbit  Crimson Mare  Coal Leopard" burrowing through the ruins of a civilisation
destroyed by a plague  from Black Mirror -esque tales of blockchain cryptography ("Byzantine
Empathy") and Internet trolling ("Thoughts and Prayers") to a three-story hard-SF arc about
artificial intelligence and the singularity ("The Gods Will Not Be Chained"  "The Gods Will Not
Be Slain" and "The Gods Have Not Died In Vain")  here are 17 interlinking visions that explore
what it is to be human  and what it is like to abandon or transcend that. This collection
