From Ganymede to Gomorrah, a bizarre breed of planet-hopping humans sell their sexless, neutered bodies - so that others may explore the outer limits of sexual perversion... Far beneath the surface of planet Earth, a doomed man lives out the rest of his years inb a hideous life-sustaining coffin - in a world where not dying is the ultimate form of punishment... And, in a remote outpost near Canada, a lone cluster of Hell's Angels prepare for the final battle with a society which demands that all men share in the good life - whether they want to or not... These are just some of the characters that people the universe of Samuel R. Delany - a universe that is at once horrifying, extraordinary, outlandish, but strangely rooted in the everyday. This is a fascinating collection of witty, perceptive, often harrowing stories and autobiographical pieces from the most original mind in modern science fiction. [Taken from the back cover]
