Glasshouse

by Charles Stross

Glasshouse Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the twenty-seventh century, accelerated technology dictates the memories and personalities of people. With most of his own memories deleted, Robin enters The Glasshouse — an experimental polity where he finds himself at the mercy of his own unbalanced psyche.

Review:

"Where Charles Stross goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow." Gardner Dozois, Editor, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine

Review:

"A new kind of future requires a new breed of guide — someone like Stross." Popular Science

Synopsis:

In the 27th century, interstellar travel is by teleport gates, and conflicts are fought by network worms that censor refugees' personalities. On the run from an unknown enemy, the memory-less Robin volunteers to participate in a unique experimental civil order--a decision that places him at the mercy of the experimenters and his own unbalanced psyche.
