Catgut : Anthology

by Saul Falconer

Overview

The future is not so far away, it reaches back to us and pulls us forward, change occurs without our awareness, and before we awake to protest, we are trapped. Rage,Pity, Terror, Despair, Remorse and Love are emotions explored in the unique science fiction dystopian future series, Catgut. A poorly paid neurosurgeon facing bankruptcy agrees to use forbidden technology in Rage, a journalist probes too deep into the workings of an Artificial Intelligence staffed aged care facility in Pity, a plague menaces the human race in Terror. Trans consciousness transfer experiments to cure addition in Despair, Remorse explores the tenuous relationship between the past and present, and Love follows clone technology to its inevitable end. Six stories with a twist in the tale, stitched together by a lost material, CATGUT.

Editorial Reviews

A subtle and meaningful collection about humankind under stress.
A clear concern for humanity, reminiscent of Philip K. Dick's dystopian fiction, appears throughout all of Falconer's stories.
