Cyborgs. Part-robot. Part-human. Even now, with our pacemakers, our holographic eyewear, our cybernetic limbs, it is difficult to deny that we are approaching an age when the line between humankind and machine is beginning to blur.
In the age of the ‘post-human’ being, in a world when your humanity can be measured by the number of electro-mechanical components that have replaced your biological limbs, what will be the measure of a man?
In ‘The Cyborg Chronicles’, twelve of today’s top speculative fiction writers explore the approaching collision of humanity and technology.

Miriam is a jiv—an augmented warrior willing to give her life for the Maker cause—and she’s more than ready to get in the ring and fight for the latest mod.

Either she’ll become the Makers’ latest failed experiment—or the leap toward salvation her people desperately need.
