Overview

Hiroshima reimagined

Combining dazzling speculation with a profoundly humanist vision, this astounding alternate history tale presents a dramatic encounter with destiny wrapped around a simple yet provocative premise: the terrifying question of what might have happened if the fateful flight over Hiroshima had gone a bit differently. An extensive interview with the author, offering insight into his fiction and philosophies, is also included.

Reviews

“It’s no coincidence that one of our most visionary science fiction writers is also a profoundly good nature writer.” —Los Angeles Times

“The best nature writer in the U.S. today also happens to write science fiction.” —The Ends of the Earth

"The foremost writer of literary utopias." —Time magazine
