The Book Of Urania
On a cold night in the year 1514, Urania, the Greek goddess of astonomy, inspires Nicolaus Copernicus to re-imagine the cosmos with the sun at the centre — a crime for which Zeus banishes her from Olympus. Then Julian Augustus, former emperor of Rome and an agent of Zeus, offers her a bargain: Find one mortal who can grasp the immensity of the universe without going mad, or else live in exile forever.

The Circle Of Life Is Broken

But in all that time, the climate crisis only got worse. The Greening of the Self didn’t happen.

Featured Fiction Title:
Flight of the Siren
A scientist discovers an alien artifact with a faster-than-light engine. She launches a search for its creators: a search which reveals a disturbing truth about her own world.
“Flight of the Siren is a masterpiece. It isn’t about outer space or aliens, it’s about us, and we are the weirdest subject imaginable. It is probably the most detailed study you will ever read of the near-infinite number of ways nations, organizations and individuals will compete for purely imaginary advantages over one another. An amusing satire well worth reading. Recommended.” –– Review in Amazing Stories.
