Synopsis: Economic turmoil, environmental chaos, greed, murder... sometimes the future doesn't feel so different from the now. Inside, learn to love a digital dog capable of more than just fetching bones, meet a space-traveling Don Juan, and join a pickaxe-wielding murderer as he jumps dimensions chasing down the same man again and again. Some of the many stories within are humorous, others frightful, and still others put the alien in alienation-but all help us find our own humanity, regardless of which planet we call home.
