Somniscope: A Dreampunk Convergence

by Cliff Jones Jr., Jeff Noon, Kristin Jacques

Somniscope: a device used to facilitate the exploration and study of dreams.

Dreampunk: a progressive genre of speculative fiction centered on dreams and dreamlike states of consciousness.

Convergence: the point at which multiple distinct entities come together to form a unified whole.

The visionary minds behind Mirrormaze: A Dreampunk Anthology are back in force with a book that defies categorization. Is it a collection of short fiction? Sure. A multi-author novel? That too.

Turn on, tune in, and blast off into a dream like no other! But fair warning: Once you enter the world of Somniscope, you may never again feel at home in your waking life.

Reviews

[Donald · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved everything about it - the interstitial connecting Interludes, a generally high quality of stories, except for Jeff Noon's and Kristin Jacques', whose stories blew me away. I made a point of reading a couple stories each night before bedtime, messing with the liminal borderlands. Great fun!
