Proudové šílenství (Edice Pevnost) – Šenk David (2014)

Imagine a universe where traveling between the stars is easy. And not just for us: meet aliens with phenomenal memories, beings capable of manipulating the fabric of spacetime, and those who came centuries ago to destroy Earth and are returning once again. Will humans in this universe remain the same as today? How will they cope with the loss of loved ones on foreign worlds, what will be the consequences of genetic modifications, and how will they manage new telepathic abilities? Cross the threshold and dive into the embrace of Jetstream Madness. David Šenk (1977) is a techno-optimist who believes in a bright future for Earth. He has published more than two dozen short stories and novellas in the magazines Pevnost and Ikarie, some of which are summarized in the collection Mortal Gods (2011, Pevnost Edition, vol. 70), and his texts have also appeared in several representative anthologies (2101: Czech Odyssey, 2006: Czech Sci-Fi, Faces of the Future, etc.). In his rare free moments, he sniffs turpentine, which he uses to dilute the oil stains on his paintings, and strums the strings on his electric Gibson.
