tablelands of South America to deep space, this is a wide-ranging and utterly original collection of short fiction and a novella that examines the idea of progress - humanity’s never-ending cycle of creation and destruction. In the award-winning story, “Valley Floor,” a surgeon performs an amputation in the open desert in the American West. In “Da Capo al Fine,” set in eighteenth-century France, the creator of the fortepiano designs another, more brutal instrument. And in the title story, the reader gets a glimpse into a future in which human resource extraction goes far beyond Earth.
