Into the Real

By Michele Lang

We live in a future where anything is possible...

In this collection of short stories, author Michele Lang takes you inside labyrinths of dark and beautiful worlds. These science fiction tales range from tender to apocalyptic, but all of them explore the permeability of virtual and real worlds, and how the digital affects the "real" in surprising and sometimes profound ways.
Into the Real contains never-before published stories, as well as stories previously published in magazines and anthologies.
