{"product_id":"2940014448178","title":"Other Heads \u0026 Other Tales","description":"Other Heads \u0026amp; Other Tales is a collection of short stories of the near future, by Dr. Arlan Andrews, Sr., long-time contributor to ANALOG MAGAZINE, AMAZING STORIES MAGAZINE, and anthologies.  Arlan is found of SIGMA, the science fiction think tank, which provides pro bono futurism consulting to the US government and NGOs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith his knowledge of the workings of Washington, D.C., and the high tech companies he both worked for and founded, Arlan captures the inner struggles, stresses and even humor of human beings grappling with the effects of technologies they invent but do not understand.  \"Other Heads,\" for example,tells of the plight of one man alone in a world of others who become supergeniuses overnight.  \"Souls On Ice\" deals with what happens when cryogenic freezing becomes a political issue. \"A Meeting on the Moon\" is a poignant tale of a future in which space travel is long forgotten, not even a legend any more.  \"The Bar of the Worlds\" is -- well, you just have to read it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive of these stories were previously published in ANALOG MAGAZINE and AMAZING STORIES MAGAZINE; two are seen here for the first time.  All are relevant to the world we live in, or the world about to come upon us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCome join Arlan in the futures he's foreseen!","brand":"Saywite Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168825458928,"sku":"2940014448178","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014448178_p0.jpg?v=1763608867","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014448178","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
