{"product_id":"2940158822308","title":"Compostela (Tesseracts Twenty)","description":"Compostela (Tesseracts Twenty) is an anthology of hard and soft science fiction stories that best represent a futuristic view of the sciences and how humanity might be affected (for better or worse) by a reliance in all things technological.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stories contained with in the pages of Compostela are a refelction of the world we live in today; where science produces both wonders and horrors; and will leave us with a future that undoubtedly will contain both. Journeys to the stars may be exhilarating and mind-expanding, but they can also be dangerous or even tragic. SF has always reflected that wide range of possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the title of this anthology:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than 1,000 years, Santiago de Compostela (Compostela means \"field of stars\") has attracted pilgrims to walk to the cathedral that holds St. James the apostle's relics.
