Infiltrator (T2 Trilogy, Book #1)
by S. M. StirlingBoth Sarah and John Connor have survived repeated attempts on their lives by advanced Terminator killing machines sent from a grim tomorrow to ensure the total destruction of humankind. Now, hiding out from the U.S. Government in Paraguay, Sarah and her brilliant son have linked up with Dieter von Rossbach -- a former counterterrorism operative and the human model for the original T-800 -- awakening him to the nightmare to come and drawing him into their revolution. Because the Cyberdyne Corporation's plan to launch its dread Skynet program was not destroyed, merely postponed. And the machine masters of the near future have sent a terrifying new breed of enforcer back to the Connors' time: a cyborg so humanlike that detection is virtually impossible; a relentless hybrid killer who understands how her human prey think and feel...and die.

Infinitas
by H. M. ZubietaA la muerte nos enfrentamos solas. A la inmortalidad nos enfrentamos juntas. Una novela distópica feminista cargada de futuro. Estados Unidos, año 2500. La Humanidad es inmortal; hace años que el profesor Milton Roosevelt creó y propagó por toda la Tierra el virus que permite al sistema nervioso humano regenerarse por siempre. Pero esta inmortalidad viene con un inconveniente: al cumplirlos doscientos años de edad, el cuerpo falla bruscamente y se deteriora, condenando a la raza humana a vivir encerrada en su propio cerebro, dentro de cuerpos decrépitos que no pueden morir. Este proceso se ha dado en llamar Decadencia. Johanna Lowe es una joven de dieciocho años que quiere estudiar Ingeniería Genética para ser como sus padres e intentar hallar, al igual que ellos, una forma de acabar con la Decadencia que tanto la aterra. Desde pequeña ha estado colaborando con sus padres, científicos,y prestándoles su cuerpo y su sangre en experimentos para frenar la Decadencia; el primer paso en su sueño es aprobar el examen de acceso a la universidad. Pero lo encontrará truncado al hallar el cuerpo sin vida de su padre, tirado en el suelo de su propio laboratorio. Johanna descubrirá que sus genes albergan secretos que le han ocultado toda su vida; tendrá que decidir entre la Decadencia y la muerte,no solo para sí misma, sino para toda la Humanidad; se enfrentará a la temible Agencia de Protección Genética, que defiende la inmortalidad por encima de cualquier cosa; se unirá a compañeros que comparten su misión y tratará de mantener, a lo largo de aventuras y desventuras en los bajos fondos de Chicago, sus ideales altruistas y su corazón sincero.

Infinite Detail: A Novel
by Tim MaughanA LOCUS AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL!The Guardian's Pick for Best Science Fiction Book of the Year!A timely and uncanny portrait of a world in the wake of fake news, diminished privacy, and a total shutdown of the InternetBEFORE: In Bristol’s center lies the Croft, a digital no-man’s-land cut off from the surveillance, Big Data dependence, and corporate-sponsored, globally hegemonic aspirations that have overrun the rest of the world. Ten years in, it’s become a center of creative counterculture. But it’s fraying at the edges, radicalizing from inside. How will it fare when its chief architect, Rushdi Mannan, takes off to meet his boyfriend in New York City—now the apotheosis of the new techno-utopian global metropolis?AFTER: An act of anonymous cyberterrorism has permanently switched off the Internet. Global trade, travel, and communication have collapsed. The luxuries that characterized modern life are scarce. In the Croft, Mary—who has visions of people presumed dead—is sought out by grieving families seeking connections to lost ones. But does Mary have a gift or is she just hustling to stay alive? Like Grids, who runs the Croft’s black market like personal turf. Or like Tyrone, who hoards music (culled from cassettes, the only medium to survive the crash) and tattered sneakers like treasure.The world of Infinite Detail is a small step shy of our own: utterly dependent on technology, constantly brokering autonomy and privacy for comfort and convenience. With Infinite Detail, Tim Maughan makes the hitherto-unimaginable come true: the End of the Internet, the End of the World as We Know It.

Infinite Dreams: Stories

Smart, creative, and acutely socially aware, Haldeman is an author whose work has all of the greatest qualities associated with the genre. Infinite Dreams collects Haldeman's short stories from the early days of his career. There's the poignant "26 Days, On Earth," which follows a boy from the moon as he writes a journal about his time on Earth and falls for a local girl. Then there's the humorous "All The Universe in a Mason Jar," chronicling the experience aliens have with a moonshine-drunk farm boy. In the satirical "A Time to Live," a frozen billionaire wakes up in the future, only to get returned to his own time in a different body. Also included is the Hugo Award-winning "Tricentennial," about a trip to gather antimatter from a mysterious binary system. Haldeman's whip-smart tales prove to be as much a treat now as they were when they were written. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joe Haldeman including rare images from the author's personal collection.

Whether our heroes are trying to kill God ("The Trail of the Creator, the Trial of Creation") or time-travel to a happier era ("I'll Follow the Sun"), they exhibit all the intelligence, derring-do, resilience and manic assaults on the multiverse found in the best classic imaginative literature.

The Infinite Future: A Novel
by Tim WirkusAn exhilarating, original novel, set in Brazil, Idaho, and outer space, about an obsessive librarian, a down-at-heel author, and a disgraced historian who go on the hunt for a mystical, life-changing book--and find it. The Infinite Future is a mindbending novel that melds two page-turning tales in one. In the first, we meet three broken people, joined by an obsession with a forgotten Brazilian science-fiction author named Salgado-MacKenzie. There's Danny, a writer who's been scammed by a shady literary award committee; Sergio, journalist turned sub-librarian in São Paulo; and Harriet, an excommunicated Mormon historian in Salt Lake City, who years ago corresponded with the reclusive Brazilian writer. The motley trio sets off to discover his identity, and whether his fabled masterpiece--never published--actually exists. Did his inquiries into the true nature of the universe yield something so enormous that his mind was blown for good? In the second half, Wirkus gives us the lost masterpiece itself--the actual text of The Infinite Future, Salgado-MacKenzie's wonderfully weird magnum opus. The two stories merge in surprising and profound ways. Part science-fiction, part academic satire, and part book-lover's quest, this wholly original novel captures the heady way that stories inform and mirror our lives.

Caleb's therapist, Dr. Bright, encourages Caleb to explore this connection by befriending Adam. As he and Adam grow closer, Caleb learns more about his ability, himself, his therapist—who seems to know a lot more than she lets on—and just how dangerous being an Atypical can be.“What if the X-Men, instead of becoming superheroes, decided to spend some time in therapy?” (Vox on The Bright Sessions)At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
