| book description |

An exciting science fiction collection that looks at what future communication might look like and how our shifting relationships with technology could change this most human of capabilities. In Communications Breakdown, award-winning editor Jonathan Strahan asks some of the worldâ€™s best science fiction writers to consider how the very idea of communication might change in the future. Rich terrain for speculation, this anthology brims with human stories about the future face of our age-old need to connect. As cyberpunk pioneer William Gibson said, â€œThe future is already hereâ€”itâ€™s just not evenly distributed.â€ So what happens when inequalities keep the future from everyoneâ€™s front door? Who is in control? These stories show humanityâ€™s ability to construct the best possible worlds while also battling our potential to inflict unlimited harm. Communications Breakdown features contributions from Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Famer Cory Doctorow, the winner of the Times of India AutHer Award Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Hugo Award winner Ian McDonald, as well as an interview with digital privacy activist Chris Gilliard by author and journalist Tim Maughan. Breaking down how we think about communication, Communications Breakdown calls readers to look at how vulnerable our modes of communicationâ€”and indeed, we ourselvesâ€”are. Contributors Elizabeth Bear, S.B. Divya, Cory Doctorow, Chris Gilliard, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Ken Macleod, Tim Maughan, Ian McDonald, Anil Menon, Premee Mohamed, and Shiv Ramdas.
