Retrospective

An alien intelligence encounters real monsters in Antarctica. A lonely woman, soaked by a pouring rain, begins to feel strange changes in her body. A research probe on Knelada unexpectedly gains consciousness for the researchers, and the first contact with... another civilization may take place both in the depths of space and right here on Earth, where many sentient beings have been unnoticed by humans until now. A merciless cyborg makes the most rational and ethical decision on Earth, while a combat autonomous drone awakens a conscience. All of this and much more can be found in the stories of Peter Watts, written over more than thirty years. Here, the rigor of scientific thought coexists with a refined style, and paradoxical plots exist alongside the aphoristic nature of the prose. These are worlds where the creativity of one of the darkest and most unusual writers working in the science fiction genre is refracted in a new way.
