The Qualia Engine

About the book

From the infinite universes of quantum theory to the mysteries of mind and heart, from mythic depths to the end of humanity, Damien Broderick speaks all the voices of SF in a bravura display of storytelling. In this first US collection of his best short stories, the multi-award winning Dean of Australian Science Fiction takes us to a dozen worlds at the limits of imagination.

Praise for this book:

"The Qualia Engine is a worthy addition to the long line of superman-in-hiding stories that stretches all the way back to Olaf Stapledon, with notable stops along the way. A dense story with a rich nougat vein of well-observed human emotion." - Gardner Dozois

"Sharply told, very funny at times, and ultimately very powerful." - Rich Horton

"Together, this collection creates its own Qualia Engine." - Mary Robinette Kowal

"Making a welcome splash with some fine new stories." - Jonathan Strahan
