Description
The future arrived quietly. Not with conquering armies or alien invasions, but through convenience, automation, and systems nobody fully understood until it was too late. A retired radio engineer intercepts a forbidden transmission.
A truck driver carries medicine through territories abandoned by algorithms.
A detective investigates a murder inside a virtual city.
A father speaks to the memories of his dead daughter growing inside a tree.
>In these twelve near-future stories, humanity faces technologies meant to solve every problem except the oldest one of all: what it means to remain human. Inspired by the classic science-fiction anthologies of the 1950s and 1960s, The Last Broadcast and Other Tomorrow Stories combines suspense, mystery, melancholy, and cautious hope in tales where the greatest danger is rarely the machine itself-but the people who choose how to use it. Perfect for readers who enjoy:
