description: LUMINOUS collects together one original story plus nine previously unpublished in book form. Greg Egan's short fiction is at the cutting edge of the genre. His stories range from near future predictions to far future, far space improvisations. His grasp of the latest scientific breakthroughs is unparalleled in science fiction. The stories include 'Transition Dreams', 'Cocoon', 'Our Lady of Chernobyl', the title story 'Luminous' and 'The Planck Drive'. Egan's particular interests range from the farther shores of chaos theory and black hole science to bio-technology and cloning.Contents:Chaff (1993)Mitochondrial Eve (1995)Luminous (1995)Mister Volition (1995)Cocoon (1994)Transition Dreams (1993)Silver Fire (1995)Reasons to Be Cheerful (1997)Our Lady of Chernobyl (1994)The Planck Dive (1998)
