(About the Author; Index)

Sources for the fiction are Analog (4), Omni, The Microverse - from 1983 to 1992. Many of the articles are revised or abridged from earlier versions in a 1988 collection of just articles: Future Magic. "Race to the Pole" and the last 3 articles appear to be original to this 1995 paperback. Some of these concepts were first explored in “Far Out Physics” - Analog August 1975.
